I was looking at for a tool and saw the Peggy Stitch Eraser tool and then I saw the price! I wonder if an ordinary electric Ladyshave eraser might do the same thing (tried using single use razor but not much luck there).

What do people use to remove machine embroidery mistakes/disasters etc?

I have never managed removal without too much damage to the fabric, apart from for very small areas.  I'd be delighted if I could though!
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Stitch ripper and very small sharp curved embroidery scissors.  There’s always a bit of damage after.

It gets pretty mixed consumer reviews and it’s not cheap.
