I cut every 4th stitch or so on one side, and roll this thing over the seam on the other. When it doesn’t stick any more, rip off a layer of paper and you’re ready to go. See how the uncut threads hang onto it?

On a roll
I know I have been less than enthusiastic about unpicking seams, but this is my favourite gadget when I need to do a lot of it: an inexpensive sticky lint roll from one of the big chain clothing stores.
Works like magic; no annoying little pieces of thread on my lunch or anything. You might want to try out if every 4th stitch works for you; it may vary depending on stitch length, type of bobbin thread and tension.
