Big mistake: used once.

I'm keeping an eye out for another tiny ripper for "just in case." As another poster mentioned, the ones that come with sewing machines are among the best. :)

My favorite seam ripper is the white Clover one. I have several, they have a small point and very sharp.

I have the Gingher seam ripper and don't care for it. It is too thick to rip. It isn't sharp. I bought a "Farmore 5.5" Stainless Steel Seam Ripper" that includes 3 blades from an online store and this baby is sharp and the blade is thin. It is great. I put my Gingher away and don't use it anymore. It's useless. Try the Farmore ripper. It comes with a cap to protect you.

Hi! Lurker here with my first post. I'm with I'm unwound, complain to the Fons & Porter website. At the very least your comment may warn another quilter who is thinking of buying the tool. If enough quilters complain about it, then there may be a chance that the problem will be investigated and resolved.
I also had a problem with a rotary cutter. I recieved one as a "free gift" in the mail. I beleive that itwas an Olfa. It was a stick style cutter and I could not get it to work for me. I found it awkward and unreliable for straight lines. Wound up sending it back. Later I was in the market for a cutter and board combo and found a set by Fiskar. The cutter had a "gun" handle on it. Loved it! The handle was curved and a bit rounded and very comfortable. I've had it for years. I looked at the set in JoAnn's recently and the cutter has been replaced by one in the stick style. Boo-oo!
They lost my vote. Jamickie

I have the same problem with my F&P seam ripper. I like the larger handle to hold on to, but the tip and the rolling off the table aggrivate me. I have a green seam ripper that I bought at Joanns that I like better- it was with the sewing notions. There is also a larger one. Mmm next sale.

I bought a clover seam ripper that works real well for me. it is 2 shades of green.

My worst tool is an all in one thingy. It consists of a seam ripper, tiny magnifying glass, needle threader, etc. in a pink hollow tube. When you open it, every thing falls out and none of the things work for me.

MacThayer, where do you get it?

The rotary blade sharpener was a total waste of money for me.

I have three seam rippers, all three have a round handle, it's so annoying when they roll away!! I am looking for a rubber band as we speak!!
