English term or phrase: scrapping the block in favor of recutting and stitching
Context:

Because your block was steam-pressed, you'll notice that the creases won't release without using more water, which only makes the fabric swell and shrink even more, distorting your cut edges a bit and causing some hairy-looking fringing. You end up **scrapping the block in favor of recutting and stitching**.
