They work great .... but have patience and practice on some old garments.

  Not a cure-all but beats the heck out of an Exacto knife. Works good on satin stitches.
not so well on a tight fills. And yes, practice before you cut a hole in an expensive shirt.

  Put a solid fill on top of it and then re-do the text. That's what I would do if I could get away with it.
Depends on the customer. Text would most likely look better on top of a tight fill.

 put the correct design on an applique' patch of the same shirt material and add it over the mistake, (buy an extra shirt or two to get the same material) cheap out and looks pretty cool if done neatly. Can use a matching color sewdown or a contrasting color . Sewing over any other design directly is not  the best solution IMHO.
On another note to remove errant stitches take killer time and you will screw some up guaranteed.
We found the best method to renove stitches was a real scalpel with quality blades and change the blade often.
try these guys really good stuff ,

buy the non sterril blades, makes X-acto blades look like a hack saw ;)
