Thanks for sharing. Now that I know about it, I'm sure I'm meant to have one.

I went to a quilt retreat last weekend. We shop hopped on the way to the retreat and I picked up one of these rippers. I love it!

Don't want to offend anyone but why whenever someone brings out a new tool does everyone think they need it. I'm still using the seam ripper that came with my original sewing machine my mum bought me for my 21st birthday. I'm now 63. It's still sharp and still works well. I have another 3 that came with my machines but they aren't in use. I did buy a pack of 3 at a quilt show once but they were hopeless. They were flat handle ones. They were too thick to fit under a stitch. They sit in a cup with marking pens etc.
Same as all these fancy rulers the makers tell us we need. Our ordinary rulers with degrees marked on them will all do the same job. Also a lot of expensive templates can be made at home. Old xrays make great templates. Just clean the ink off with bleach.
This is just my personal opinion so please don't take offense.

I'm thinking that an eraser that sits on top of a pencil would fit the seam ripper and would work just as well

I bought one last weekend at the show in Portland and found it works very well at removing the tiny bits of thread. I didn't need the seam ripper part although I like the fat handle on this one.
