<p>You might need to as a last step, go over it with a green kitchen scourer. This will help remove fibres caught in the actual jacket fabric. Again if synthetic, go gently.</p>

A proper answer is usually 'isolated' from external sources, so that it remains useful even when the linked page has been (re)moved, but I can imagine you skipped getting into it more extensively for lack of detail in the question.

Yes, I posted because I couldn’t tell what was actually wrong with the pictured method from the picture. Even after zooming, it looked like the removal process is going as normal so I was hoping the steps could give OP some ideas of verbiage to describe what exactly they’re stuck on.

Not The Face
<p>I have a sports jacket from a team I used to play for. It's a very high quality jacket and I would like to continue wearing it, but the team name is written in large text across the upper-back of the jacket.</p>

<p>I would like to remove this writing but I don't know how. It appears to be some kind of stitching but it's quite heavily coupled with the jacket material.</p>

<p>Is it possible to remove this? See attached photos:</p>

You have to just keep going, use a magnifying glass to muscle through when necessary. The seam ripper is your best tool for this job. You may want to use a pin occasionally. I've done it on a Champion hoodie. As long as the jacket is not too old, the fabric behind the embroidery stitching should still match. That was my error with my hoodie, since it was old and faded, the word on the dark fabric that was covered by the stitching is still visible.

Removing stitching from jacket

# Removing stitching from jacket

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-05-05)

I have a sports jacket from a team I used to play for. It's a very high quality jacket and I would like to continue wearing it, but the team name is written in large text across the upper-back of the jacket.

I would like to remove this writing but I don't know how. It appears to be some kind of stitching but it's quite heavily coupled with the jacket material.

Is it possible to remove this? See attached photos:
