Here is a pictorial of how to quickly pull those threads. Comes in handy when ripping hems. First pop a couple stitches with your handy-dandy seam ripper, then pull on the other side. Break the thread and pull.
Then flip the seam and pull the other side, you may need to trim the opposite side to get some slack.
Keep alternating sides
soon enough the threads are all pulled.
Flip, pull and tear
The best part of this trick is that you’re not using the ripper in a way that creates a million little threads that you then need to clean up.
Please feel free to comment with any questions, I’m happy to answer!

PS to the knitters and crocheters, in case you don’t already know, frogging is called that because you rip (ribbit) out the stitches! 🤣
