    Didn't know this about seam rippers

    Is aw this video about seam rippers. I never knew what the ball end was for. For those of us that do a lot of unseeing, this looks pretty slick. http://youtu.be/-QzJo16Zre8

    Never regret growing older, its a privilege denied to many.
    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

    Clover. It's nice and sharp and very comfortable to hold.
    May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.

    Me too! BUT, be careful, I tried it yesterday to open a straight seam on a hem......and oops, must have just jiggled a bit and it made a little cut in fabric......I really prefer to just cut thru about every 6 stitches, then just turn over and pull at the uncut thread.....or as EB does it...with the rotary cutter.
