I have not found a really good one either--the big ones you can hold are not sharp and those darn little ones are hard to hang onto.....

I have yearned for a good seam ripper too. So, will try the Clover first. HOWEVER, I have found that after I take out that first stitch, I can set down my inadiquate seam ripper and pick up my THIRD FINGER. This little tool can be found in most catalogs. While it is not a seam ripper, for some reason it is great for pulling out thread. It's very strong and can pull out lots and lots of stitches without breaking the thread. I love mine.

When I was in a full arm cast I learned to use a razor blade and use the cast to hold down the fabric - I can whiz through seam ripping so fast it is ridiculous - Now, I use the side of one hand to hold down the fabric and the index finger and thumb to hold the seam up - the other hand holds the sharp blade and just whispers over the thread - inches go fast.... I was bored and desperate for quilting!! Now I get the quilters's stuff to do at all the meetings and just tonight took 50 blocks apart for a neighbor in less than an hour!
