At a sew day the sewer next to me was tugging and pulling on the threads to take out, she was literally breaking the threads with force using her seam ripper. I offered my seam ripper saying it's very sharp. She said, I've had this seam ripper for years and it's still good. I couldn't' help myself and said good for what? She reacted in one of these two ways. She huffed up and pouted the rest of the day, She laughed and said I guess it does need to go in the trash after all and borrowed mine.
She chose to laugh and I gave her a new seam ripper the next sew day. We are good sewing buddies now.
