For larger garments, work on a table or another stable surface rather than trying to remove stitches while holding the fabric in your lap.
Step 2: Identify the Stitches You Need to Remove
Take a moment to look carefully at the seam.
Don’t start cutting until you’re certain which stitches need to come out.
If you’re removing a short section, it’s usually best to work only on that area rather than cutting the entire seam apart.
A little planning can save you a lot of repair work later!
Step 3: Slide the Point Under One Stitch
Hold the seam ripper comfortably in your hand.
Gently slide the
pointed end underneath a stitch.
You don’t need to push deeply.
