Default My new favorite tool
Don't remember who suggested it, but thank you. I bought some eyebrow razor trimmers yesterday and they are great for cutting stitches. I had to rip out 2 long WOF seams today and it was slick. Doesn't seem to cut the fabric but does a great job on thread. Of course, you have lots of little pieces of thread to deal with, but it is fast. I bought a package of 3 razors for less than $3 at WalMart.

Add a lint roller to your tool list and run it over each side of your "ripped" seam to get rid of most of the tiny threads.
