Good advice! Just a little extra tip: usually it's safer to turn the item inside out and cut the threads from the underside. That way if you happen to knick the fabric or cause a little bit of damage it will be on the underside as opposed to the front that everyone sees. :)
This isn’t always an option though. Some clothing items have more then one layers and the embroidery is only done on the first layer leaving you no access to the backside.
@@kolinmartzSo you would open the layers. If it's only embroidered on the top layer then that means the layers were cut somewhere to slip the hoop in. You cut near the placket flaps (by the buttons) and sew it back shut when done.
Thank you for this. My daughter was given a "Frozen" jacket recently with a different name embroidered on it. I am now in the process of saving this jacket and she is super excited to be able to wear it
You can also use very small cuticle scissors. To close the holes, use an iron at a low setting. Whether they close depends on age, size, fabric, and such.
You moisten the lining and the front (if it still shows) where the thread was to remove the trace where the holes are. Start with cold water. If that doesnt work as well, use warm. The water helps to pull the fabric to its original state. Do not saturate or soak it, just dab it with a wet towel or sponge so it gets wet through in through. Then get a dry towel and blot it dry. This method also works on shrits that get those big holes from price tags. Nice vids always. TFS
Hi... awesome video. In addition to the seam ripper, a couple good tools to have are a pair of manicure scissors (the tiny really small ones) and a good pair of tweezers for yanking out stubborn threads. Some fabrics will need a little coaxing to cover over their holes after you rip out the threads. You can use a VERY soft old toothbrush to carefully brush the threads back in place. I used to sew my own clothes and these always came in handy for me.
Thank you. I had a nice jacket I ordered from online but then it had someone’s name on it.. “Bianca” and I was so confused and wanted to remove it. It wasn’t even shown online that it had someone’s name on it lmao.
Inexpensive but quality Seam ripper--- amzn.to/1kEikx1 Prime? You know it! The Jacket ended up selling for $325! - ua-cam.com/video/821mNKMmQWU/v-deo.html
i was gonna remove mine with scissors but decided to search videos and found yours and hunted for a seam ripper and i had it. thanks for your video, it made my task super easy!
Dude this video so fucking funny, everything from the electric massager (vibrator) on the nightstand to the enumerated requirements for the project. Your humor is subtle with depth; immediately subscribed.
Funny I am just removing a Jake Paul embroidered name from sweatshirts and am struggling and bam I searched it out and there u were from 2013 so 5 years ago ur still rocking! I am excited to try this !! JP is not so liked in this house by grandkids any more and the SS were expensive ! Thanks
I detected a thread of humor in the burial sequence and just wanted to needle you about that. I'm not ripping you. I just thought it showed genius to weave that into the fabric of your story. ;-) Great video, thanks for making it.
I want to remove an embroidrery from a bag but i cannot reach the backside, cuz the bag is two-layered. Can i remove the threads from the front? Thanks. Great video!
I know you said taking the embroidery off of materials that will show the holes is not a good idea. But would it be better to cover it up with another patch? I have a raincoat with a. Few embroidered logos on it. What would you suggest I do to remove or replace them?
Bro ur the best. I’ve been working at a coffee shop for almost 2 years w the name on my apron spelled wrong bc they spelled it wrong originally and refused to correct it or give me a new one lmao.
Hi excellent Video!! I have mans Columbia jacket,made in the phillipines and it has a embroidered stitched into it on the left side upper of curling rocks embroided,I want to remove this as I love this jacket. it has a shell of 100% nylon and lining 100% nylon.If i try to remove this ,will the fibres go back to the original condition.. 100--100 on your great vid ty
thank you, my work place has some great jackets and jumpers but ofcourse it has the logo. i was going to take a stanley knife to it but im glad i decided to check out this video first.
Love your videos!! I would like to know if you can do a video on how you decide on placing an item on ebay,etsy,amazon, or other sites. Thanks kindly, Pat
Male Lea is a nordic origin name. The name is female to male 4:1 so its possible, based on the gender domination of football I just made an educated guess. It could very well have been a women though, the mysteries of thrifting. I wish the jacket could talk, now that would make a good video. Thanks for watching!
I am so jealous of your views! Uploaded one (actually 2 videos) today and can count on fingers its views. Thanks for sharing the easy way to remove names.
Great! I bought a small kit from Wally world and it came with a microscopic tomato pin cushion! FYI, I'd word from the back first just in case you make a mistake!
Great video! I have a couple USS Eisenhower military hats that had partial embroidery on the back and I removed the embroidery the same way, without the funeral, LOL.
Tried it on a shirt, and ruined the shirt. Returned all the shirts with Joe to the GW. I did keep one shirt with Joe on a fuzzy section of the shirt. The back of the shirt where the embroidery is sewed on has a little piece of cloth between the embroidery and shirt so I think it's safer to rip the seams on the backside. You can actually take a sharp razor blade and but the threads, but you really have to be careful. Thanks for the tip anyway. I'm going to give it one more try on ....
Awesome video! Keep educating us. I have a question. Is it profitable to sell pocket sized books with prayers from the mid 20th century. I just bought couple of them today for a dollar piece
Good tutorial but I got a question, does this works on plushies? Because I want to remove the embroidery from my plush but since it can't be flipped over I don't know if would be possible.
I needed this so I can remove some of my exes stitching, thanks
You are welcome 😊
LMAO SAME
nah cuz same 😃😩😩

that got pretty philosophical for something as simple as thread removal
Bro... The accuracy of your statement as to the whereabouts of my household's seam ripper was so on point! HOW????
🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️
@@thecollegepicker He was close to mine too. 'Cept it was next to the "Red Strawberry" pin cushion.
Ripe. 🍓
Thank you for this. My daughter was given a "Frozen" jacket recently with a different name embroidered on it. I am now in the process of saving this jacket and she is super excited to be able to wear it
+Linda Smith Sweet send me a pic if it worked out! Id love to see before and after!
You can also use very small cuticle scissors. To close the holes, use an iron at a low setting. Whether they close depends on age, size, fabric, and such.
I don't have a seam ripper, but I do have cuticle scissors! Thank you for the idea.

If you remove the embroidery and see that there's still some discolouration or holes, you could always put an iron-on applique or patch to cover it.

You should also remove that raider logo......

Man I wish mine said Lea. I got a Ferguson.
It's easier to use the seam ripper from the other side first. cut out all the stitches and they will just pull out through the frontside.
Thanks dude! just got shirts embroidered for two of my kids and decided they weren't going to that school. needed a quick fix!
i was gonna remove mine with scissors but decided to search videos and found yours and hunted for a seam ripper and i had it. thanks for your video, it made my task super easy!

Lol 😹

What about removing a sport from a Varsity Jacket?
LOL this guy actually buried the name
rofl!
loved the "burial" clip at the end- nice touch!😅
VERY HELPFUL. Also found a way to grab the viewer's attention. RESPECT
Appreciate you 🙏
Lea...girls name pronounced Liya....awesome tip! Great vid like always!
Will this method work on a starter jacket that is satin all around ? Or will it damage the fabric
Funny I am just removing a Jake Paul embroidered name from sweatshirts and am struggling and bam I searched it out and there u were from 2013 so 5 years ago ur still rocking! I am excited to try this !! JP is not so liked in this house by grandkids any more and the SS were expensive ! Thanks

I dont think its lee, its lea, like lay-a, a female hawaiian name
No it's like Lee uh
It's boo-urns
I have a vintage turning point denim jacket with John Deere embroidery. You think it can be removed?
Can u make a video how to fox a sewed jacket that got removed how to sew it again.
Hi I'm not sure I understand the question completely 😬
@@thecollegepicker sorry if u dont understand my english

what about on the back of fleece material on my shoes would I be able to remove that its hard behind the material not it itself
Bet. Boutta try this on a tattoo
Yeah it turned out perfect. I am trying to document little skills I learn along the way. Its all about the journey, not the destination. Whooooaaa.
Bro ur the best. I’ve been working at a coffee shop for almost 2 years w the name on my apron spelled wrong bc they spelled it wrong originally and refused to correct it or give me a new one lmao.
Absolute gold from Ye Olde UA-cam. Thanks!
I see Nike dri-fit shirts all the time with a gold clubs fundraiser embroidery. Do you think it would work on these type shirts?
Got a whole weeks worth of nearly brand new work shirts for my next job lol thank you sir 🙏

Would this work on canvas or duck down?
Question: Will this method do any damage to a stuffed animal?
Probably not. Maybe try a small part first
Thank you for replying! I'll try that!
What's with the power tool on the night stand?
can i use it on shoes like i got custom shoes with initials on them is that okay? it’s on leather
thank you, my work place has some great jackets and jumpers but ofcourse it has the logo. i was going to take a stanley knife to it but im glad i decided to check out this video first.
any way to do this on a windbreaker? I found a cool windbreaker but it has a Fritos logo embroidered on it.
I would try it if you got it cheap or wouldn't care if it messed it up. lol
I got lucky finding a niche in clothing, and it's paying out very well. Can't wait for your next video.
“If you have the right mindset, even if it has somebody’s name on it, you can make it yours.”
That’s called stealing ☺️🥰
it's good to see someone made a video about this in HD!
I have sneakers would this work on them too .they have flowers embroidered on them .
Yes that should work perfectly fine, send me a pic on instagram or facebook when you are done. Im curious how it turns out =) Thanks for watching!
Say you need to remove one letter. Can you start over or if it ok to just get rid of the letter
The little tombstone at the end...lol
Is this gonna work on the human race nmd's? Or the fabric is gonna be damaged?
+1
I followed the advice in your video and I think I might be having a problem, I don't think I used as big of a vibrator.
By far the best picking videos on UA-cam!
I came for the embroidery removal tips, but stayed for the vibrator on the nightstand :)
😏📳
Love your videos!!
I would like to know if you can do a video on how you decide on placing an item on ebay,etsy,amazon, or other sites.
Thanks kindly,

Thank you so much this video helped me to remove an embroidery. Never knew that this was possible. Greets from holland
Awesome! Glad it could help 😁
thank you. I had this tool, but I have never used it. it's working really well within the timespan of this video even.
Do you think I could remove an embroidery from a pair of khaki pants? It looks like a super tight kind of embroidery
Clothes without logo are looking very expensive like i dont know but just try it
Did it still sell? Or are you gonna rip it off?
Ahh I'm blushing. Good thing the camera is off. Thanks for watching!
I literally liked and subbed after this vid. Wow. Cheers. Can’t wait for what’s next. No pressure!! Lol
cool vid, man! I know about the seam ripper! my mom was a sew fanatic - them rippers come in handy!
Haha the burial at the end though 😂
Gotta pay the respects
can i do this with little scissors? the scissor is like a finger long and can be folded, that one?
You probably could. Let me know if it works 👍
Dude, i still need to try it. I posted that comment at midnight.
And still haven't done it, dude i'm scared
Thanks for the tip marvel! Never done this before, im a noob. & thanks for checking out the video!
you daid that tool is called what ? if you don’t MIND
Can this be done with a scalpel/x-acto knife?
+GhostBear3067 I would recommend the seam ripper its very specific to this task. Those might end up destroying the article.
I have that same tool. will this it work on polyester?
Depends on the way it constructed. But I have used it on polyester before.
@@thecollegepicker OK cool. And thanks for the speedy reply. you rock!

Great! I bought a small kit from Wally world and it came with a microscopic tomato pin cushion! FYI, I'd word from the back first just in case you make a mistake!
If I removed embroidery from leather, would I be able to cover it up with something else? Like an embroidery of a symbol big enough to cover the area
+zaidooney65 That sounds like it would work. Could you just embroider over it or would that be too bulky?
Great video! I have a couple USS Eisenhower military hats that had partial embroidery on the back and I removed the embroidery the same way, without the funeral, LOL.

What was the name of the picking thing that he picked from beside the tomato plushy thing
Edit : got it... It's seam ripper
Thanks PDX! The best thing is, they will only get better!
ha I bought an LL bean shirt not too long ago that was embroidered. Didn't even notice until I listed, thanks.
Would a tweezer work good as well??
It could, but I think something with a sharp edge will work better to cut the threads.
Can you take a embroidery logo out of a patch and put it on a hat is that possible
You can take a patch off and move it but once you cut the embroidery threads its done. =(
Great tip! You could probably use a razor or an xacto blade too.
Whats on the night stand???
Thanks dude, I had no idea what that tool was before lol
You are welcome. I was the same way until my mom told me!
Awesome video! Keep educating us. I have a question. Is it profitable to sell pocket sized books with prayers from the mid 20th century. I just bought couple of them today for a dollar piece
Excellent! Thanks! I need to remove an embroidery off a t-shirt, I hope it doesn't leave a mark for me too. Wish me luck!
what a great video I have a chalk line 49ers jacket I need to do this to.
It might mess up a satin jacket. Maybe sell that one as is 🤷♂️
thecollegepicker it’s not satin. It like a felt /fluffy material. Should work.
Will this work on Jordan logo on back of shoes
Maybe, worth a shot if they were cheap.
would this work with an exacto knife?
Yeah that is another way to do it.
Dude... you got me a burial!!! 😂 💀
Good tutorial but I got a question, does this works on plushies? Because I want to remove the embroidery from my plush but since it can't be flipped over I don't know if would be possible.
Great advice man.How this got a dislike is beyond me.
Informative and very entertaining!😂
RIP Lea...😄
Would this work on a thin linen shirt?
I think so, its worth a shot if you dont have a lot of $$ or sentimental value into the shirt.
thecollegepicker will do, thank youuuu
Hey do you think this would work on suede?
I don't think so, leather is pretty permanent when a hole is made in it.
@@thecollegepicker damn. okay thanks for the quick reply!
