OK :oops: Is an eyebrow trimmer a pair of scissors or a blade?

I didn't read all the post so I hope I'm not repeating something. I really wanted a Ghinger seam ripper but one day at our sewing group I tried one a friend had and I couldn't hold on to the darn thing. Just too slippery

I have the same machine as you and I use it even smaller onto 2.0 or even 1.9 so you may have to either get another ripper or make your stitches a bit bigger.
