I have found that sometimes I snip off the knot when I am cutting jump stitches so I bought a Wahl beard and mustache trimmer. I cut the stitches in the middle, then I take the trimmer and run it from left to right/right to left and top to bottom/bottom to top.


I think your idea is right one. I have used Peggy’s stitch eraser’ for some time. What I like about it most is the fact that it will clean up the back of my embroidery. Just be careful you don’t cut any of the design threads as they will come loose if you so. If you do, use ‘Fray check’ right away to stop any thread from coming loose.

I never thought of doing that. I will have to give it a try.

What I really hate is when you first start your design and you go to trim the tail and before you realize it you have cut both threaths.
I also have problems seeing the threath clearly, therefore I have place the sewing machine up higher so I can see much easier in the first place.

After I read and replied to the e-mail about cuting threads, it reminded me about some my husband has done for me at home.
We had two drafting tables, and it occured to him if he put a peice of wood along the bottom edge (being very carefull not to split the wood), that you could adjust the height of the table and with the table being at a angle it was (and is) much easire on your back and eyes when using it.
