Thanks everyone! Scalping is where you leave the quilt on the longarm, and lift the top and the batting away from the backing fabric to expose the stitches, then run a razor blade (I use my rotary cutter) lightly against the stitches. Unless you're incredible careful, it often destroys the batting and the backing, but the top is safe. It's a last ditch effort... but if you've ever tried to frog out black thread on black fabric...
