I call all of my seam rippers, Jack. They don't seem to mind at all that they all share the same name. Sorry to hear you must retire your friend. Don't worry you'll find another handsome blade to take his place.

Do you get the catalog from Clotildes? She has some good prices on things like that.

Are you going to put "RIP, RIP" on his gravestone? - RIP (rest in peace) RIP (short for ripper).
|
R.I.P...you could always paint the next one red or tie a red ribbon on him..

My lil ripper and I have loads of fun sewing unsewing and playing hide and seek, He hides and I seek lol

I've given up on seam rippers. I get impatient and often end up ripping the fabric. Plus I don't like having to pick out all those tiny cut threads. Instead I use a "pickit needle"...[my name for it]
It is a stout blunt needle used for needle point. It has a big eye into which I thread 6"-8" of bright yarn or cheap ribbon. Then, when I drop the needle or it gets mixed up in my fabrics I can see the ribbon tail and pull the needle to me. I have three of these that I keep stabbed into a pirce of batting hooked to my thread rack. I can pick out stitches with very few little pieces of thread. Much much easier to manage. On one needle I have a tiny safety pin in the ribbon. If I carry my to-be-ripped project to another place, in or out of the house, I can pin the needle to the project or my shirt so I can find the needle. Also I have a shelf near my sewing table. On the underside of the shelf I have put a dozen or so good sized cup hooks. My scissors and sometimes a measuring tape, especially the shorter one that I accidently cut in half, hang from these hooks. |

I am going to miss his little candy red body :( What a good helper he was. And what makes it even worse is that I cannot go any further on my bag I am working on tonight until I go shopping tomorrow to get a new friend. Hopefully I can find a new friend tomorrow! Maybe I wont have to use him as much as I used my old buddy!

[quote=AnnieH]Buy two! I use both of mine (but not simultaneously-yet).
Wouldn't it be great if we COULD use 2 of them - one in each hand - at the same time. Sure would be quicker. :-) |

Now, as we all know, life must go on, however I suggest you get at least two new "little buddies", this way they have each other to help with the unsewing :) |
()()()hugs and rest in peace little ripper!!
|
I have several hanging out begging me to be next. But I have my favorite blue boy.
|
That is cutest, oh, I'm so sorry, TRAGIC story I have heard in a long time!! Maybe you should get twins or maybe triplets when you go shopping :lol: :lol:
|
Lovely eulogy! :)
|
You have made my day for sure. I recently lost my snip it scissors that I used for my unsewing and was devistated when I couldn't get another one like it. Got two more but they aren't the quality or size to be able to use. This group certainly "rocks" as I recently read on this board.
|
Poor buddy, but he worked hard for you and deserves the rest :wink:
When you go shopping buy two of them, so you never have to be without one. One of mine likes to hide from time to time because he is tired, so his buddy is in action. If you don't use them, they like to be together and chat :wink: |
We do get attached to them...
|
MAE SAVES THE DAY!!! Thank you so much Mae for sending me several replacements for my little buddy! They will be put to work immediately!
