I have one and love love love it. It was the best bucks spent on a sewing room gadget. It's one of my favorite gadgets. A friend of mine loaned me hers at a sewing day when I had a ton of things to snip apart and I was in love with it. I got one the next week. It's awesome :)

I have a seam ripper on a base. I bought it that way (I don't know what it's called though). It sits on the table and it's SO much easier than scissors!

I had eighteen seam ripper holders made by a friend who does woodworking. He cut 3"x3" cubes of wood, then drilled a hole that fit the COVER of the seam ripper, then gave each cube a light sanding to remove the cut marks. When I want to use it, I inserted the handle in the cover. When I'm finished with it, I turn the seam ripper over and insert it back in the cover. By inserting the cover in the hole, I will not lose it or the seam ripper and I will never stab myself accidentally.

I gave each person in my bee one of these for Christmas, and still have some left to give as a gift.

And the cost? $2 each for the holder plus the cost of the seam ripper.

I have several of these but have forgotten about them. Thanks for sharing!

Now that's smart thinking! Much safer way to use the seam ripper.
