Thanks, Lizzy, for the tip. My machine has a built in area for different sizes of feet, plus seam ripper. My problem is remembering to put it back! I was taught to use a razor blade, also; trouble is that it stretches the fabric when you pull seams apart to use the razor.
By the way, just finished ripping for the second time on a very small project! AARRRRGH |
Good idea! My seam rippers are like my reading glasses - one by every chair I read or sew in!
|
I make my pin chusions and leave them a little loose and I then can stab my seam ripper right in the top and it stands up and is ready when I need it....I have three different chusions and each one has a seam ripper standing right up in the top....
|
I always use a coupon to buy 2 seam rippers---ONE TO USE,
ONE TO LOSE !! |
gonna sound terrible, but put the seam ripper in your back pocket.. you won't forget it's sitting there, lol.. thanks for making me laugh tonight, with this question.. I needed to laugh, its been a ROUGH day...
|
great tip. Thanks

Now I know where at least one of my seam rippers is handy. Yellow stuff can be removed at any time with no residue left.

Good idea. a friend made a small basket made with cord wrapped in fabric. It is just the right size for seam ripper, twizers, odds and ends that you use frequently. It is small enough fits next to my machine. I love it.

I put velcro on the machine and seam ripper and it is always there.
