Thank you ladies so much for the review! Sounds like I need to look into the mustache trimmers instead or maybe the peanut. I have never heard of that one.
Gale I'm so sorry that you were made to feel bad about your trimmer. Sometimes words come across more harshly than might have been meant. I can't say. I just hope you won't give up on the board. There are so many wonderful people here. Makes up for the few that come across a bit rude sometimes.

I have one, kept it in the package thinking I should not have gotten it. Then my friend said it was her new favorite gadget, that's all it took - out of the package it came. I love it use it all the time. I still have original batteries in mine. But, I also have nipped the fabric.

One has to be so careful when removing a sewn seam especially if you want to reuse the fabric. I just take my F&P and cut about every five or six stitch. Then when done, I just gently pull on the remain thread on back and it comes out so nicely. I even have even learned to clip the thread on the fabric I will NOT be using again and then there are no little threads I have to pick out. Works great for me.

I put an entire,,,, yes entire baby quilt together wrong. It was a mess, I remembered they had this little seam ripper at my LQS. I ran and bought it. Worked great!!! Took the entire quilt apart in a short time. Then I remade the quilt! I love my little ripper!! My batteries have never been changed in a year. So it was worth the price for me!

Mike's girl, I have one that I purchased at a quilt show a couple or three years ago and I love it! I'm glad that it is battery operated so that I don't have to rely on an outlet. I placed a rechargeable battery in it, and the battery has yet to need recharging. I use it a lot, unfortunately! It saves a lot of time when 'unsewing.' I highly recommend it if you have to do much ripping.
