I finally found my trimmer to try this out(had to pry out the really old AAA battery).....and low and behold it works!
I almost threw the darn thing away because it hurts to use it!(can you say epliator?? :shock: )
You do have to pick out the little threads, but on a paper-pieced project that had really tight stitching I probably would have thrown the part away and started over. This tip will save me time and I will use it again.

I know that the electric mustach/sideburn clippers are used to take out machine embrodiery stitches. I got my DH's old pair but haven't tried it yet.

I just read a post about using electric eyebrow trimmers to rip seams with short, tight stitches. Anyone else heard of this?
