My only issue with them is the caps do not stay on, not even for two seconds! I have taken to taping them on when not is use. I wish they would sell them with caps which were useful!

I love the Clover brand seam ripper from Nancys Notions, DO NOT BUY the Fons & Porter, I had 2 and the tips snapped off. Thankfully I wear glasses. The other thing I like is a battery operated mustache trimmer! Its' about 3 or 4 dollars (same thing as the pretty ones in the quilt stores) but much cheaper!

The best item for Unsewing is an electric shaver...Use a bikini shaver...a side burn trimmer...etc. Super fast and easy!
|
I've got a surgical seam ripper from Nancy's for 3.98 and it is super. A whole lot of the quilters went together and each bought one, or two.
|
Thats is the most difficult thing for me.

I use one made by Anchor very much like this one but a whole lot cheaper. Everyone that I recommend it to loves it.

I use a Ripper-Clipper made by Anchor and everyone that uses it loves it.

I have this one also, and it is super great, you do have to 'pay attention' to what you are doing because the blade is O.M.G. so sharp it is scarey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so much better than the Gingher that I got first (very heavy) I also have several of the ordinary ones for a quick rip. |
I have the Fons and Porter seam ripper and it works great.

Most of my seam rippers, stitch removers/cutters, etc. have gotten quite dull.
I'm going to be buying some replacements soon, and would like to have some opinions on what 'make and model' you prefer - and why. At the moment, my favorite tool is a very narrow pointy manicure scissor. my very favorite over all the others here is below. It has a magnifying glass that is lit with a tiny light.
