UGH!!! Don't you just hate that....sometimes I have to just walk away and come back later and deal with it.

Yep. Right now I've got the little cheapy one from Joann, but it's several years old and starting to get a bit dull. I might just have to go upgrade in the near future. ;D

i couldn't live without my seam ripper. but there is a difference if it is not sharp enough. i love my brand new sharp one.

It took me three days to make one block pattern to come out the correct size. I could not figure out what was wrong. So I went and took the whole thing apart with my seam ripper, and then resewed it back together this morning. I am not sure what I did but the block came out to be the correct size this time.

Got to love those seam rippers!

Yeap me too. I need one to wear around my neck.

I agree with you about having to wear a seam ripper around your neck. Mine seem to keep walking away from me, and I am the only one in the house. And my ruler keeps coming up missing and I just used the thing. Mine me, but how can I not see a 6"x24" ruler.

Mine ruler are always hiding from me I think that they hope I will let them rest, my ripper and I have almost slept together the last couple of days am having to take apart quilt top that I am working on, not at all happy with myself right now.

I probably have as many rippers as I do needles. Just like scissors, I don't spend time looking for them, I open my notion stash box and get a new one. The lost ones show up eventually and find their way to the stash box. I have a continual cycle with misplacing/finding notions.
