Amazon has a couple different ones and if you have Prime it's free ship. They are under 10 bucks. I may get one.

I won one recently at a guild meeting. Haven't used it yet, but will soon. Just need to get some sewing time in!

My son made me one by taking a small branch and drilling a hole in it to hold my seamripper. He then glued the piece of branch to a 4" square wooden base for stability. When I am not using it to cut threads, I cap the seamripper or turn it upside down to keep from having a sharp point sticking out.

I just got one and I love it. My 12 year old GD loves to use it and wants me to just do a bunch of chain piecing just so she can use and cut them apart.

Onebyone, I love my snips, and use them for also cutting small pieces of fabrics/paper, etc., and although have carpal tunnel, have never had a problem. If I knew how to post pics of them I would.

After reading everyone's response, I'm thinking of getting a cutting gizmo :)

RJ that is very creative. I couldn't come up with that in a million years.

Me, too. Works fine.

I like this idea. Nothing is more frustrating than wrangling those small, sewn pieces, trying to get that seam open and flat. Keeping them strung together has to make the job a little easier. Thanks!
