Hi Pam Welcome from Iowa
I like to use the little blue seam ripper( I get them at Walmart) because the tip is smaller than most and I do miniatures. Well they were always rolling off onto the floor or they were hard to hold so I taped one onto an emory board. Works great. I now have a larger handle with a small tip to get into those seams and rip them out! And it doesn't roll anymore! The handle that is on them(the blue part) is only 1 1/2" long. You are supposed to stick that part into the cap but I never liked how that felt in my hand. This works so much better for me and I used a hole punch and punched a hole in the end of the emory board to hang it with.
