- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- Any embroiderer knows the gut-wrenching feeling of when an embroidery project goes wrong, it can feel like you’ve ruined your only shot at embroidering on your favorite garment to a stubborn embroidery design. Don’t you wish you could erase or remove those embroidery stitches?
Well, what if there was a way to successfully remove all the thread from an embroidery design without destroying the material you stitched on? Thankfully there is, and it's called an embroidery stitch eraser!
Join John in this video as he shares tips and teaches you the proper technique for using stitch erasers on machine embroidery. Plus we’ve got 5 different stitch erasing options ranging from cheap ($6) to expensive ($80) to help fix your embroidery mistakes.
Our family has been using stitch erasers for decades! Going back to our factory days, I can’t count how many times our stitch erasers saved embroidery disasters.
The only downside is brand name stitch erasers can be pricey, so my question is, can we achieve the same results for a fraction of the price?
You’d be amazed at the results some of these units can achieve! Watch now to see which unit handles the best and which ones you should avoid.

You're welcome 😁
Unknowing to me I have had the Whal stitch eraser for several years. It was sold under a different label. I have always had good luck using it as a seam ripper. I did not know about using it to remove embroidery. See what happens when one watches informational videos. Thanks John Deer for the great lesson!!
Thanks for the kind words and watching! :)
Thank you for taking the time to help us! Very informative.
Thank you for this video! I just had the hoop fall off a very expensive jacket while embroidering and I was ripping out the stitches manually when I decided there had to be a better way and found your video on TH-cam! I ordered the Wahl Peanut right after watching and I can't wait to receive it!!
My first stitch eraser years ago was a Peanut. When it wore out I got a Wahl mustache trimmer. At a going out of business sale a year or two later I snagged a new Peggy's Stitch Eraser for $8.00! It is still working although I have had to put new blade in it. Thanks for the video!
That's a great alternative for a great price! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you for the pet clipper information. I have always wondered if these would work. I have trimmed my various pet poodles over the years with these clippers. I have done between their toes and do know how to use them gently. You have saved me a lot of money!
Hi John, Thank you for an update on the erasers. I do have the peggy stitch eraser myself but do not have to use it much. But that is my favourite.
Thank you
Regards

Excellent, thanks John :)
I have been using Peggy Stitch eraser for 20+ years I have one with the date on the bak 02 I always keep an extra blade on hand. Worth every penny when you need to take out a design and it is a hard to replace a garment. I did try the peanut I was not impressed with it. I'm a Peggy fan :)
I have always been very afraid to use a stitch eraser. I'll have to make a purchase. Thank you!
Great information. Thank you!
Thank you for doing this!
Excellent video! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for doing this
I have been using the Peggy stitch eraser for years. A great device. Thanks for your test. Very informative!
Thanks for watching :) Agreed they're amazing!
I've used the little grey Wahl for seam ripping forever! Never thought to use it for embroidery too. Thank you!
In the U.S, I've found the eyebrow trimmers for less than $2 at Dollar Tree and beauty supply stores. This was a very good tutorial. Thanks, John. I own the stitch eraser, the Wahl peanut and the eyebrow trimmers, and I was able to glean some good tips on technique.
Thanks for sharing and glad you enjoyed the video :)
Great video and I’m a very proud owner of the Peggy’s Stitch Eraser. Also holding the finger in the back sure does make it much easier to remove those unwanted stitches very nicely.
Thanks for watching Bonnie!
Thanks for the great video - some of these stitch erasers I had not heard of before. I do have the Whal Pet Pocket Trimmer, and like you pointed out - need to have a light touch I learned this the hard way with a hole in my fabric. Think I will look at the others and see if my budget will allow me to get one. Appreciate all the information and learning about these products.
Thanks so much for watching!
11/2/23 The Peggy stitch eraser 3 is sold at Walmart for $69 although it is sold out. Guess I will be checking in occasionally.
Thank you.
Thank you for the good information.😊
Thanks for watching! :)
Great video, thank you. I own both Peggy's Stitch Eraser and the cordless Wahl for my embroidery; however, the Eyebrow tool, which I also have, I use as a seam ripper -- I've not ever used it for my embroidery. Thank you for demonstrating the method you use when removing the embroidery stitches
Glad you enjoyed the video :) Thanks for watching!
Good video thanks
Thank YOU, Thank YOU, Thank YOU! OMG, I just got the Wahl Peanut today per your recommendation and I love, love love it! It works like a charm! I could not bring myself to spend $80-90 for the Stitch Eraser but found the Wahl for $48 at Walmart!
You are so welcome! That's awesome :)
I have been looking at stitch removers and was not sure what to buy. After watching the video I am going to order the peanut. I need quick and accurate. Thanks for clearing up my delima!
Glad you found the video helpful :) Thanks for watching!
I've used the Peanut for years so happy to see you rate it highly.
It's a great unit :)
This is great information, especially for a beginner like me who knows nothing about embroidering. I am actually looking for the best product to remove professional monogramming on the cuff of mens dress shirts. Any ideas which of these products might work for that? Thanks in advance.
I have never used a stitch eraser, but perhaps, if I dropped a big hint to my partner, I may get one!! Thank you for the information John.
They're a great tool to have in your embroidery arsenal :)
I'm confused between the two battery trimmer options.
The first, the whal, you said worked well and the galaxy not so in the analysis of the two.
However in the conclusion you chose the galaxy over the whal, the exact opposite.
Great video, I use BIC 2 blade disposable razor blades
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
I bought a Bridgewater eraser, I came here to figure out how to use it. I never knew I could use my pet trimmers, I have a much smaller Wahl one, not much good for the dogs. I have a proper big cordless dog trimmer, with several blades, I'm not sure I want to risk using it on thread incase the blades dull, unless I choose one that is only for thread. That Peanut one, is that for dog trimming really too? I see it has combs.
what is that little black thing you use to rub at the cut stitches on the front?
Thanks so much for
This video. I’ve been wanting a stitch eraser and now I know which one I want. What’s the price difference between the Peanut and Peggy’s?
Thanks for watching Patty! Glad the video was helpful. It's about a $25-30 difference!
What if you can can’t get stitches from back on finished product, I received a banner with a major error on date
Hi John.
I've had my Peggy's for a while now. I am surprised that being a machine that has been on the market for so many years and that even has Peggy's photograph in its box, when one looks for the brand to know about its history, there is practically no information. Do you know anything else about how it came about?
I’m not really sure on the history, I remember seeing it for the first time at Bobbin World in Atlanta. I think was in my mid 20’s at the time :)
I purchased a pet grooming tool on amazon, which works amazing and is SO MUCH cheaper! (under $20) is it exactly the same thing as the expensive specialty thing.
Glad to hear you found a cheaper alternative! :)
What fine blade can i get for the Wahl Peanut?
Hard to find on Amazon, saw it come up once not on prime.
Should have added a razor for shaving to the list
You didn’t describe the small instrument you use to remove the thread… is it a brush?
Sorry, it was the opposite end of the little cleaning brush that came with one of the items, anything, including a fingernail could be used.
nice sir. how much price sir.
I use Gillette twin blade pivot head disposable razors on flat surface. absolutely fantastic
