Thanks Rhonda for the seam ripper tip.
Here is something else for you to think about. Since my hands are older than I am, I got a woodworking friend of mine to remove the plastic handle form my ripper and he made me a wooden handle.
It's bigger around and a bit longer, and with a hole in the handle, a little ribbon on it and I can wear it around my neck.
Of course quilters never rip, just unsew a bit.
