  LuAnn,
      When ever I see a loop of thread like what you've described, I try to 
pull it to the back side and then hit it with some "Frey Check".  I also own a 
little device I picked up at Wal*Mart in the sewing dept. that is used for just 
such an occurrence.  It resembles a large pin and the tail end of the shaft is 
kind of scratchy-like as opposed to the front end which is smooth.  You push 
this "Pin" through what should be the needle penetration where the loop of 
thread is going through the fabric and as the scratchy end is pulled through to 
the back side of the fabric, it pulls the extra length of thread thru to the 
back side with it.  Then, of course, you can hit it with some Frey Check or 
Frey Block or simply tie it up/down to the other surrounding stitches on the 
back side of the garment with a length of thread.

    What is the best way to fix a "loop" in a stitched section.
    I am running a design that has 2 inch high lettering, full block outline. 
In two spots in the letter "A" there are a couple of big loops on the surface. 
It has also occurred in two other letters. If I trim on the surface will the 
entire letter loosen up?

    Thank you in advance for your time.
