Great minds must think alike! :D :D

I removed a pillow/pocket off of a quillow yesterday but did it with my small (10mm I think) rotary cutter. I use that a lot for ripping. Eleanor Burns of Quilt in a Day does that on her show.
i do have seam rippers but they are difficult as you say.
Oops, there you go!

I use this one: http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/p...DID=xprd140434
They don't show the cutting end, but it's like a surgeon's lancet. I can get the smallest of stitches. BTW, I have a Janome and I feel 2.2 is too small for my eyes. I up it to 2.4 and 2.6 on items that aren't getting stress...

I broke the tip of my best seam ripper while using it to pry a hard-to-get-to battery from something -- yeah, I know, but it was near by and I was frustrated. So I replaced it with a relatively expensive one with an ergonomic handle. I don't remember the brand -- the handle is two shades of purple -- it feels good, but it's as dull as a butter knife! I replaced that one with the old standby blue-handled Dritz, but I don't think the blade is as narrow or sharp as my old one.
