Removing stitching from jacket I have a sports jacket from a team I used to play for. It's a very high quality jacket and I would like to continue wearing it, but the team name is written in large text across the upper-back of the jacket.

I would like to remove this writing but I don't know how. It appears to be some kind of stitching but it's quite heavily coupled with the jacket material.

Is it possible to remove this? See attached photos:

I've tried cutting just a small section of one of the letters but I'm not sure if it's working properly. The stitching is so fine that there's still a thin white outline:




Edit: Thanks everyone for the feedback! This strategy is working. It will take a very long time, but I will get there:
I’d be using tweezers to remove the final remaining thread with a magnifying glass if needed. If the jacket's fabric is synthetic do this more carefully than if it is cotton.

You might need to as a last step, go over it with a green kitchen scourer. This will help remove fibres caught in the actual jacket fabric. Again if synthetic, go gently.
