This was cute.
But those of you who still have your ripper from highschool....REALLY?!! How in the world do you get the reverse sewing done with that?
I don't LIKE reverse sewing, so I prefer to use the sharpest tool in the box. I replace my seam ripper as soon as I can't run the blade along a seam between the layers and get a quick rip without risking tearing a hole in one layer or the other. That may be once a year or every 6 months depending on how much reverse work I've been doing!
I buy the brown handled Clover seam rippers for less than $5, usually several at a time. That is as cheap as replacing needles.
Wow, I can't even imagine how dull a 20+ year old ripper must be! Do you sharpen it somehow?
