The good news is that recently I bought a seam ripper. For the first time in my life I actually purchased one. I've always used the crappy seam rippers that always came with the sewing machine - you know the kind. Well, I decided that I wanted one that was more ergonomically designed for my hand. So I went out and I bought a Clover.
The bad news is that I have a date with it tonight!
But I DO like the way it fits in my hand and I have had such a sharp and precise ripper. Why did I wait so long??
