LuAnn,
I don't recall the official name but I know that it IS intended for
pushing "pulled" threads to the backside of the garment. I'm sure any
sewing supply place would carry them. It's about three inches long. It is
a shiny silver color. And looks like an oversized stick pin without a head.
Sure is a lot faster than trying to find which thread is attached to the
looping thread on the back side. You would find this in the accessories
area by all the rippers and thimbles and such.

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.
