the best seam ripper Ive ever had is Havels......... it has replaceable blades and works great. I use it for everything, including frogging out longarm stitching!

I have one with replaceable blades too. I use it all the time (unfortunately), blade is super sharp.

Oh, I agree! The Havel's pro seam ripper is one of the best tools I have. Super sharp and the shape of the blade is great.

Clover and Fons and Porter makes very sharp seam rippers. I have lots of those to take to classes and sewdays because they are easy to replace. I use the best seam rippers for home. Gingher surgical seam ripper is my favorite. It opens a seam like a zipper. Once you use a super sharp seam ripper the cheap ones will be like cutting with a dull rotary blade. I don't understand having just one seam ripper.

(In reference to the seam ripper with blades)



I think I'd be afraid to use that one. Looks scary!

I use the Havel's as well and love it. Even worked on ripping out PPing stitches.

I have one like the Havel's but not that brand. I know I paid less than $3 for it. I had a tiny little one with the same type replaceable blade that I got at a quilt show like this one: http://www.getcreativeshow.com/shirl...#Seam%20Ripper but it's so small I can't find it! I like the longer handle on the Havel type but my little one was good, too. I damage the fabric more with the other type ripper than the tiny razor blade type.

When instructing young 4-Hers I told them a seamstress (quilter) is only as good as the # of seam rippers he/she has! Made them feel better about making mistakes. I must have 4 or 5 laying around everywhere! LOL. One of my criteria is get one that has a flt side--that way it won't roll away from you!

I would like one of the ones with the lite.

The one I had with the light wasn't very sharp and it was heavy.
