The wonderful owner of my LQS told me that the one thing quilting ladies/gentlemen never replace are their seam rippers and it should be the one gift they treat themselves to.....
Either LQS's don't make mistakes or what I want to know is where they purchase these wonderful on dulling instruments.
Me, sometimes, and more and more frequently, I use a single edge razor blade. I found razor blade holers at a supermarket on the gadgets wall. 3 for about $3.00 in fluoroescent colors. They are as safe as any other sharp instrument and to be used with care. And a whole box of razor blades (100)is only a dollar or two at Harbor Freight.
