When you are unpicking, do it in the French style, rather than in the usual tedious manner of unpicking stitch by stitch. -- Pull the top thread as far as possible and snap off, turn in the underside, then pull and snap the free thread there. Return to the top side and proceed as before.Try this method, and you will be delighted with its simplicity.
