I bought the Fons & Porter ripper because it has such a small point to it. I find that the ones that come with the sewing machine are way too big at the point making it difficult ripping out small stitches. I agree that it is a problem with rolling, so like someone suggested, just put a rubber band around the handle.

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.
