Me and "Jack" are best friends. He's been known to sleep with me on occasion. (Sometimes I will be sitting on the couch ripping out a seam and fall asleep. I have this little tiny cream colored one that I got at Joanns forever and ever ago. It is still sharp and I use it alot, the only thing is that little tip with the little red ball broke off and now I don't like how it rips out threads so that little ball must have had some reason for being there. Then I bought one at Walmart its got a long blue handle on it...Hate that one and only use it if I cant find Jack.
