I don't know why you would feel you needed to do that. It's part of the quilts history.
But if you wanted to you could. Just use a seam ripper.
I removed a monogram from a backpack many years ago, that I bought from a Lands End outlet store. Took some time, and left some holes but can be done.

Removing machine embroidery is possible, however. You need to remove it from the back. Get a very good light, tweezers and a sharp ripper. A magnifying glass is good too.

If you remove the embroidery, and don't like the way it looks afterwards, you may end up having to do this any way :D:D:D
