Most frustrating quilting notion!

I was given one of the lighted rippers as a present and retired it the first time I used it and kept dropping it and stabbing myself with it. It was very awkward to use.

What quilting tool did you buy that drives you crazy? I treated myself to a new seam ripper, the Fons and Porter seam ripper and this ripper is driving me crazy. I wanted a large ripper, as I am always misplacing it - and I normally love their products. Well, the handle is totally round, it rolls off any surface that I put it on. And the ripper nose (the pointy thing) is so thick that it has a hard time getting between the stitches. Ugh, I am glad that I used a 50% off coupon for it. Waiting for the next coupon to buy a brand one. Any suggestions? Not a happy camper right now.

Like BellaBoo I have a Clover seam ripper and find they really do do the job. But never thought of putting a rubber band round the middle to stop it rolling - brilliant idea, thank you. I have a little pot by my sewing machine where I keep it together with some other invaluable (to me) things Like a old bead tube into which I throw my old needles, and a spare pair of scissors.

And your sewing machine dealer can order you another or 3 from the company that will be equally as wonderful. I covet my Pfaff seam rippers that I've had for almost 15 years now!
