I have used mine a lot as I am sure others have.
Seam rippers are dull to start with. I use a pair of Havel snip-eze for taking out quilting and a pair of thread snippers for taking out seams. Just snip a stitch every 4 to 7 stitches and pull the thread on the other side and out it comes. The pull the seam apart and snip down the middle method can distort your fabric edges.
