New type of seam ripper
https://www.quiltinaday.com/shoponline/notion/218486
Ordered this from QIAD and just may be a new fav tool when I have to do the frog stitch with long seams. I think it's even kinda cute. |
That looks really cool! Let us know how it works! And, yes, it is cute!
|
I've used it several times already and just love it.
|
Thank you, Julie. For that price I might have to try it.
|
Looks interesting, $3.71 but $6.00 to ship it plus tax. I wish it was sold at my LQS.
|
I know the bummer with the s/h charges. I'm waiting for a good daily deal to justify s/h charges. These heat resistant pins are today's daily deal (11/18/20) https://www.quiltinaday.com/shoponline/specialsale7.asp

You can buy these in 3 packs on Amazon or pick up at Walmart for like 3 dollars, just google eyebrow razors.

I picked up a package of three at a thrift store for $1.00. I think I have seen them at the Dollar Tree, but couldn't find a link. Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do. Not affiliated with off-site link(s) |
OMG!!! TU for the shopping update. I love multipurpose items. Walmart has them, too.
|
You can find them in the cosmetic section of your local stores - they are called "eyebrow trimmers" I think.
|
These seam rippers are excellent. JFYI, eyebrow trimmers are the same thing and cheaper. MY LQS sells the eyebrow trimmer. At a Judy Niemeyer class, the teacher handed the eye brow trimmers out. I bought them for all the girls in the quilt guild that I belong to for Christmas that year.
|
I would be interest in a quality comparison between the Kai and dollar store varieties. I use the cheap ones. Didn't know Kai had them, but Kai is always top quality IMHO.
|
I have used other brands of this type on long seams. The third hand tool makes it super fast and easy to use.
|
Well, shoot! I have one of those I originally bought for my eyebrows, but it never seemed to work well for me -thanks for the save, now I can use it! :)
|
I have considered this seam remover a few times but have not gotten around to ordering one.
|
I don't think the eyebrow trimmers have a guard on the side to prevent cutting the fabric.
|
Best part is that the "teeth" don't cut your skin. I just checked with mine.

Yes, they look exactly like eyebrow trimmers. I remember using them when machine embroidering and had a big nest underneath. Worked well to cut the threads to remove the piece from the sewing machine. I haven’t used them in a long time but I never thought to use them as seam rippers - great idea.
