I have not had the opportunity to try this out... but I just was in a longarm class all day yesterday and was told that you can use an electric mustache trimmer to take out your longarming. You turn it on and get it between the top and the batting and it will cut your threads with out cutting your fabric..... Just had to share this. :roll:

I would leave it alone. The main focus of your eye is drawn to the applique and red pieces so rather than rework it I would just leave it alone. Ripping out long arm stitches can sometimes be a disaster leaving holes where the large needle went in and out or possibly even accidental tears from ripping the stitches out. It looks crisp and clean and wonderful the way it is. Nice job!

You did a beautiful job on your quilting. I agree with the others that if you are not happy with the outside meandering, turn it into a ribbon. Then you will have learned another new skill on the longarm. Lovely quilt.
