Wish it would fit on the other end while using the ripper."
    I agree with this! Mine keeps rolling away and I can't find it when I need it. Also, I like the cheap one I got with my little Brother machine better. The cutting end is thinner and easier to get under the threads to cut them.

    Now I am gonna look for a pencil top eraser for my seam ripper - it will likely keep it from rolling off the table

    I am making a Hidden Wells quilt. I put it away way too long. When I sewed the last 4 strip panels, I used a different 1/4" foot (both made for my Brothers' machine) and the second foot made a larger seam. Didn't realize it until I sewed all 4 pieces (9 strips each). I had to rip all of the seams in order to start over. I pressed the strips to get them back to a straight strip (they had stretched when ripped). I went over all seams with the eraser and it was amazing done pressed and ready to resew.

    PS: The eraser was $1.00.
    I also use this eraser to clean my cutting mat. Works like a charm.
