Photo quilt question
 

I created a photo quilt with old pictures. I sent it to the lady that does my machine quilting, she quilted across the pictures. I accept blame I did not specifically tell her not to. The quilting takes away from the photos..is there a way I can rip out the stitches without making a mess? Thank you in advance!

I don't think so - I think the needle marks won't disappear if you take the threads out.
