I spray 505 temporary spray adhesive on the back of my door and put the embroidery up against it to remove loose threads after trimming instead of tape. Makes for quite an interesting door over a few weeks…. remove the spray from the door with goo gone. Use of a piece of plywood would probably be less messy

Sandra, you mention that you use an electric trimmer when you make a mistake. Do you use it to take all the embroidery off the garment? Do you mean a man’s mustach trimmer or something like that. I’m trying to find something to take out mistakes without spending over $100.00 like they advertise for a remover on embroidery sites.
Thanks for any help you can give.

When doing applique, I always hoop stick stabilizer. After I trim each part, I use the left over pieces of the stabilizer to pick up the fuzzies and threads.

Excellent idea. I have a little pan and brush and brush off the little pieces, but I think your idea is much better. Cheers Shirley

I also, do that. You may like to try using water stablizer over small stitches ,this way you can trim neatly over the stitches without the fuzz. I also use a electric trimmer when I make a mistake.

I also use some masking tape from my hubby work shop, works real well plus cheaper.
