Whats bad is when you DH breaks your most favorite clover seam ripper that has been working fantastic on his shoe lace because he wanted to loosed it.
Or, the seam ripper wins and cuts your leg open and you have to have stitches.
I have had my Clover for some time and love it. No, it has not broken yet. The Dritz and other little ones you can buy always break on me. Not sure why.
