I use the flat, brown handled seam ripper from Clover. It's really sharp, thin and inexpensive....which means I can have 3-4 at a time in the sewing room and never lose them!

Hmmm, I mostly use my small rotary cutter. Like Eleanor Burns of Quilt In A Day does.

I have two seam rippers that I like. One is flat rectangle and the point folds into the plastic. Very sharp and won't roll. The other I just bought. It is round on top and says the top "erases" loose threads. Have not used it much but I do like it.

I took two velcro "dots" and put one on the ripper and one on the side of my machine. When not is not in use it just sits there, where I put it......My ripper is round also, seem they are easier to hang on to,

I have bought the Sew-ology (?) brand at Hobby Lobby and love it. It has a rubber handle that makes griping easier. It's only about $5 bucks and they have that brand of notions on sale every other week.

I just love the clover brand seam ripper I bought from Nancys Notions and it was less expensive! I had 2 Fons seam rippers and they snapped within the first month! I returned them to Joanns and they told me they had many of them returned

I just bought the Seam-fix one and love it! It does have a round handle that comes apart like a pen. The opposite end has a large rubber-like tip that you use to rub back and forth to take all those millions of little threads that have been ripped out. So now, I don't have to sit and pick out all those little cut threads after ripping a seam! I just had to rip out two, 60" sashings, today and, boy, did that rubber thingy work good!!

My seam ripper has an extremely thin, sharp blade. The blades can be changed. Years ago, I purchased a great seam ripper from a vendor who sold items that looked like medical supplies. It was inexpensive and worked great.

Seems the most frustrating tool is............ seam rippers!
Perhaps it's because it's the tool we use the most after our machines :D Mine is a seam ripper too. It lights up and has a changeable head to a needle threader. The ripper attachment cracked the first time I used it and now it doesn't stay on the end of the little torch light. I bought a Seam-Fix and it's the greatest invention since the rotary cutter :thumbup: |
