And the ripper nose (the pointy thing) is so thick that it has a hard time getting between the stitches. Ugh, I am glad that I used a 50% off coupon for it. Waiting for the next coupon to buy a brand one. Any suggestions? Not a happy camper right now.
I prefer the smallest seam rippers (don't even know if there's a name on them) - but they're cheap (say .99) so I can buy a few at a time and put them in different sewing areas (I have many). Most importantly - I can replace them OFTEN! so they're nice and sharp when I need them to work.
Can't think of any tools that drive me crazy right now....cause I probably gave up trying to use it! Hahaha!
