I guess the phrasing messed me up. I thought of the eraser thingy too, but "between quilting layers" made me think it might be something else. I guess I consider that tool more for a "seamy" purpose, while piecing (or un-piecing) the top;-)

There is a small mustache trimmer that can be used to cut the threads withing the quilt sandwich. Several online sites and a few LQS's do sell them. But they really were made as mustache trimmers. LA'ers seem to love them. I have one but haven't used it yet.

From your description, I think you have some threads showing through the quilt top after it has been quilted, and you want to pull them out? Here is one place that sells items for that purpose, but you can use a very fine crochet hook just as easily. http://frederickchill.com/sales_pokenpull.php
