I use my seam ripper to cut thread. Just thought I would mention it. It works. The stewardess got angry with me because I was sewing before takeoff (my worst time on a flight) and I had to put the project with the needle in it until we were airborne. She said "You could put your eye out"! It's true! Flight to Cedar Rapids, Iowa and believe it or not, 1/2 hour from take off to landing. I think I got about two rows embroidered (x-stitch). Edie
