Will removing embroidery leave holes?

Simply so, how do you remove embroidery without a seam ripper?

Similarly, can embroidery be washed? To wash your embroidery use a running tepid water. I use a small amount of Dawn dish soap, it gets rid of hand oils. Do not wring the water out – it can pull your stitches. Place the piece on a dry bath towel and roll the towel up and gently squeeze.
