Machine Embroidery Stitch & Thread Eraser Reviews: Cheap vs Expensive

Ойын-сауық

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.

    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!!

    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!

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
