I used to work at a public safety store (police, fire, EMS uniforms) that did embroidery. Pick yourself up one of these from Amazon or Walmart or a craft store and you'll have your name off of there in no time. It'll take under a minute per letter once you get the hang of it. To help reduce the chance that you stick the seam ripper through the fabric and make a big hole, keep the area you're working on against a table top and keep the pointy end parallel to the table and fabric. Once you have it cleaned up, take something like a firm nylon bristle brush and go over the area on both sides of the fabric. It will help pull any thread fibers out of the holes and make the holes close up as much as they can. If you want to be safe you can then rub some seam sealer over the spot from the inside.
You can get a seem ripper off Amazon for around $5. They can be used to remove annoying tags.
I'll respond more later. I have a migraine so it's hard to come up with a thoughtful response.
Whatchu gotta do is buy one of these and as soon as you get home from the store go ahead and have a fucking blast tearing them all out. Pocket stitches, coat tail stitches, visible labels, I even use it on annoying tags that come on button up shirts (which is really a shame. They spend all of that time making it out of fiberglass and razorblades and put the essence of "biting your own cheek" and "dude in front of me is going too fast to pass but too slow to drive comfortable" along with a bunch of other annoying shit in there too, which I'm sure takes a lot of effort and know-how. Real craftsman type shit.)
I saw a post somewhere that someone tried a seamripper (sewing tool). While the real ones look a little fragile for construction use, it is a good concept. And it is usually used going away from the user.

You can use a seam ripper to cut it off from the back.
They’re probably cheaper somewhere else, but here’s an example: Dritz 638 Deluxe Seam Ripper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001DSIVY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_MMPVH5XJ8PYEGVQWPCKP
I hope you find greener pastures
I'm going to de-stitch my jersey and bring it into the Pro Shop @ Sharks Ice (they won't do the de-stitching, I asked).
Do you have any recommendations on what tool's I should use for this process? I found a couple on amazon like this one, but any tips would help! Thanks.
stitch/seem ripper All of my New Era and '47 brand hats are logo-less now. I've even taken a lot of the back-band stitching out of the franchise hats which makes it shaped like a franchise, but appear like an on-field. Give it a shot on one of your older hats.
You can do it yourself with a seam ripper and twenty minutes of your time (just carefully remove the stitches around the pocket). I've removed probably a dozen pockets from dress shirts. A word of caution: depending upon the construction of the shirt, it's possible that some perforations may be visible in the fabric.
Get a seam ripper from the sewing shop/Walmart/amazon, and break the stitches holding it on.

you have to be careful when seam ripping to not destroy the seam completely, but it helps with getting tags out a lot.
You need to have holes in the fleece at even intervals to crochet the fleece to the blanket. I did this with a seam ripper https://www.amazon.com/Dritz-638-Deluxe-Seam-Ripper/dp/B0001DSIVY/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=Seam+ripper&qid=1598054814&sr=8-9 and a ruler but you can use the point of scissors against a wooden cutting board (you have to puncture the fleece without damaging the scissors: any wood scrap will do). You can also buy a sharp crochet hook just for attaching fleece (https://kollageneedleshop.com/crochet-hooks.htm makes a pointy tip version that cuts right through fleece so you don't need to precut!!! I use mostly DK weight yarn, so bought a 4.0mm hook to test with fleece: it was perfect ❤️)
You'll have to rip the stitching somewhere on the cushion using either a knife or a seam ripper ( http://www.amazon.com/Dritz-638-Deluxe-Seam-Ripper/dp/B0001DSIVY )
I also found this guide on that may be helpful. http://loveoffamilyandhome.net/2014/02/saggy-couch-solutions.html

In order to prevent getting dye on any other part of the hoodie you’re going to have to detach the pocket. You’ll need a seam ripper, rit dye, a double sewing needle for your machine, and thread that matches the color. When detaching the pocket make sure you’re only cutting the thread holding the pock, and not any of the fabric.

If you’re not comfortable taking the pocket off and sewing it back on, I would not recommend dyeing it.
The label is lame, but you can take it off easily with a seam ripper. https://www.amazon.com/Dritz-638-Deluxe-Seam-Ripper/dp/B0001DSIVY/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1544363320&sr=1-4&keywords=seam+ripper
You could try using a seam ripper instead. I'm sure it would work great.
Treat yourself to a seam ripper, it will allow you to actually completely remove some straps (not all) while reducing the risk of damaging the fabric.
Use a seam ripper. Or a small scalpel. Or a small sharp knife. Or if you want to be really minimalistic - your teeth. https://www.amazon.com/Dritz-638-Deluxe-Seam-Ripper/dp/B0001DSIVY/
Here's what I used:
Just be careful, I stabbed myself in the hand a couple times!
Are you using one of these?

RIP legit jersey sales if we get ads.
Meanwhile, sales of these will soar
A seam ripperis just that. A tool to rip a seam apart. There are lots of tutorials online on how to use them. These are great for removing actual seams because they work quickly. They are really bad for embroidery because they are too difficult to control. You end up ripping a hole in your fabric or ripping out more of your embroidery than intended. It is much better to use embroidery scissors like these. I have this pair and they are awesome but there are also cheaper versions out there too. I sew and do a lot of embroidery so I am speaking from experience when I say it doesn't matter how careful you are with the seam ripper. You will end up damaging something and you can't really fix a hole in your fabric.
