I have an easier way.... don't rip the seams, let them be the way they were created ( that's what they secretly want) ... of course I'm sloppy, I keep hearing that there's such a thing as a strait seam... I don't know if I believe in that creature. hee, hee

I think it would take someone very special to break a seamripper while pulling out threads.
I can't say that I ever have, but mine DO get dull quickly, if that's any consolation.

*smiles* After reading replies ... I think somewhere out there is a support group for seam rippers in hiding ... they are networking against everyone and planning to rebel!
