How To Remove An Embroidery Design From A Garment or Fabric 

Thank youu! I thrifted a vintage jacket that had someone’s initials on it, which I usually dont mind, but these initials just happen to be BJ 💀 I wanted to remove that asap lol

RU-vid has everything!!!! I spent $70 on 2 sets of scrubs and a scrub jacket; the tops all had the job monogram on it. Well, the job didn't work out and I was going to take them to the seamstress in the neighborhood to see if she could get the monogram off. Well, found this video, worked perfectly!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!! It gave me confidence to remove a logo from a sweatshirt, and following your method worked perfectly!

You are a lifesaver! We just removed an embroidery from a bag. Thank you so much for this video!

Thank you! You just saved me hours of work with the way I was trying it. With this method I was all done in about 20 minutes....

Thank you ! I successfully got embroidery off some scrubs very easy. Thanks for this awesome video.

Thank you! I was able to do it without any issue . The razor is a must !!!

Nice video. I've just gotten rid of a couple of patches on a nice looking, warm jacket from a paratransit company. Now, it looks like a nice looking, warm, regular jacket. Thanks for the idea in this video!

Thank you so much for the video, my removal process was as easy. As you made it.

So Helpful. Thank You for Posting.

This was very helpful! Thanks!

Thank you for creating this!

Thank you SO much for this video! It really helped me out today.

Very helpful. Thank you

Thanks. I did remove it from my new jacket. I just followed your technique.

Yay, great video. Thanks.

Thank you for this video you have helped me so much!

What about when it has a piece of cloth between the back of the embroidery and the inside of shirt itself? I have some really nice/expensive scrubs from an old job and I really want to get their logo out without ruining the top. But the embroidery has this cut out piece of white cloth. I’m no seamstress so I don’t know what it’s called. Anything to save these scrubs haha

Thank you so much, this was so helpful! I wish I would have found you before I ruined so many pieces of clothing...

Thank you for being straight to the task at hand. I hate when people give their whole life story on tutorial videos.

Thank you for doing this video

Thank you 🙏🏾

Thank you for posting this

This is extremely helpful as I have a few polo shirts from my former employer that I can wear but have their logo embroidered on.

Thankss it works PERFECTLY

Thank you so much for this video😘😘😘😘

Thanks for this! Would this same process work on an NBA jersey made of a 100% polyester mesh body?

This is just what I was looking for I have some shirts from my former job, I really liked and didn’t want to throw Them away. Also is there away to just get a new patch with designs and just cover the old embroidery?

thanks for this!

This is so helpful!!

thank you very nice

Thanks helpful video

Again Thanks for the video was able to resource a really nice jacket !!!

Thanks!

This is perfect, doing it to a work jacket too.

Thankyou for this😊

I got this really nice rain jacket from work that’s like a waterproof polyester type material. Eventually when I quit this job I still want to wear this jacket since I get to keep it but I really hate the big ugly (like slightly larger than the diameter of a golf ball) solid embroidered logo. I’m worried that with the material, that if I remove the embroidery it will cause the jacket to be full of holes in that area since it’s such a dense embroidery design. Do you think that kind of material would do that? My other thought is maybe getting some black fabric dye and dying over the embroidery to try to hide it best I can since it’s a white and lime green design.

Very helpful thank you! I figured out that this also works on embroidery designs where the satin stitching is on both sides (e.g. you can’t see the bobbin stitching but a razor still works just fine to cut up all the satin stitching on the back) Also if you working with average shirt or thinner fabric, be very careful with the razor bc it’s easier than you think to cut a hole in the fabric. Learned this the hard way even though I thought I was being careful 😅

thank you for making this

Good video thanks

I don’t have a seam ripper does someone know what object can replace it ?

I bought a lint remover . Electric Hairball Trimmer . This help out at all ? Instead of using tweezers . I have lot of shirts and jacks like to do this to. Will dry cleaners do this type of work? Nice job. Thank you

The backside of my embroidered shirt has a mesh like ironed on patch over the embroidery. Any way to easily break through this?

Awesome Ness 💖💯

Do this also work with removing tommy hilfiger Brand Logo?

Thanks

wow awesome

Nice how long did that take?

I have a very nice older Harley heavy jacket made from cowhide my dad gave me and it has a faded out old harley patch on the rear of the jacket and unfortunately it's not sewn like your patches are, it didn't go through the lining so I can't do the procedure like you did. It's looks like the only way to remove it would be to do it on the leather. Do you know if there's a way to do it without damaging the leather to bad? I know it may leave some tiny holes but I have some leather filler that can go in the spots and we can use some black dye on it.

will this work with a 50/50 cotton polester blend sweatshirt? i dont want any holes showing

Thank you so much it worked

Awesome, just wished it was zoomed in a bit.

Hi I have a safari type vest with an embroidery on it and to me it doesn’t look good. Do you think the holes will disappear?

Just great, amazing teaching!! However can you save files as .PES to run with Embrilliance?. I see the program allows you to save to meny formats, but .pes files is out of this type file to be saved?? Thanks a lot, good teaching, keep it up please!! henrycar

I can’t get to the back of my embroidery. Can i do it to the front of the patch?

I have removed embroidered #'s from my sons soccer pants and I can still see the pattern of the number post removal, is there a way to remove this? it has already been washed 2xs and is still visible..TIA

I don't have a razer at hand. So I used a sharp knife to carefully cut the threads on its back, so reach the same effect. Then pull the thread at front side. The difficult one was the small characters. But anyways, used your idea and done the job. Thanks.

This is awesome. Lifesaver. Now I'll be able to buy all those things I liked, but avoided before because of the dumb embroidery... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi! On a waterproof jacket would this leave little holes at all? I have one with my work logo on I am hoping to remove but don't want to cause any holes in the jacket as it is waterproof!

Does anyone know where I may find a patch that doesn’t look crazy to cover a monogram on boots I paid a pretty price for for my daughter who doesn’t like them. Wanting to hand them down to my friends daughter.

Could a tailor that puts embroidery on use the same machine to unstitch it, perhaps with better results?

How long did the entire process take?

I'm contemplating buying my oldest sister a beautiful pre-loved Mink coat for Christmas but has an embroidered name already inside. The inside satin will more than likely be sewn at the bottom so there will be no underside access. How then would this work to remove the old name? Thanks

What if you can't access the rear?
