I had one also that I loved. Went to put the cap on recently and had it at a slight angle. It destroyed the the longer part of the ripper with less force than pushing back a wisp of hair off the forehead. something terribly wrong there. And I had just recommended it to several others.

I buy mine at walmart for less than 2 dollars and love them. They are small enough to use and the right size for me. I keep one in every sewing area and if I lose one I can afford a new one.

I have tiny hands as well and have found Fons and Porter ball handle one is easy for me to hold and work with well.
Hope you find what you are looking for because I do know your situation

I use manicure scissors with the curved part of the scissor.
It works beautifully. The point of the scissor is very thin, and
you can just keep cutting and cutting without cutting the
fabric. It's easy and fast.

Pro Seam-Ripper Kit
Check it out at www.chestnuttools.com




Developed in response to a customer who felt seamstresses and tailors were under-served in tool development, specifically regarding the U-shaped thumb stabber that is currently called a seam ripper. The Pro kit includes two sharp-end stitch-picker blades for starting a seam, and four safe-tip rippers that complete the job without snagging the fabric.

The instruction brochure covers straight and top-stitched seams as well as 3 and 4 thread serged seams, and the techniques you use for each kind. The six blades, two blade holders, and detailed instructions all come in a fitted metal case to keep everything together.

The blades are durable, but replacement blade packs are available for heavy-duty users. Suitable for anyone who does sewing, even on a casual basis.

Made in Canada.

I put a piece of velcro on the side of my machine and the other part of the velcro on the handle of the seam ripper. I never lose mine as its always attached right there. Just a thought.

Steady Stiching

I have several seam rippers...for different jobs.
I use the one with the hook for picking out.
On long seams I prefer the raczor type.
I happend to buy a small (handle looks thick as a pencil) exacto knife for less than three dollars. I was trying to use it to cut sharp corners of fused fabric.
Well....its a dandy seam ripper too.
WARNING: SHARPER than a seam ripper....faster too : )
