The best is the Clover white handled seam ripper. See The quilt show episode with Marci Baker...at the 21:35 mark...she shows how to use the "long shank" of this ripper to glide along ripping fast and easy. It was a revelation to me...hope for everyone here as well.[/QUOTE]ry
Oops, sorry, QuiltnNan, I forgot about The Quilt Show sign up. I like the "last edited" notation on our postings that are edited. Back to using seam rippers. The Clover shank is longer than the normal rippers. If you put the "red ball" portion of the ripper to the outside of the seam, then hold your fabric piece and push against the ripper...sort of a gathering motion, the ripper goes through your stitches like butter. So you keep pushing and moving along the seam until it is all complete. I was amazed. I was always trying to "pick" as I went, afraid I would cut into my fabric. However when you put the red ball to the outside and pinch your fabric and move toward you...it works great.
