I am very lucky ... I still use the one from my Grandma's sewing basket and I am a Grandma now.

Quilter's Home magazine did an in-depth comparison of seam rippers a few months ago. I will see if I can find the issue number for you.

I just use my little Gingher embroidery scissors. The point is very fine and the scissors are very sharp. I clip a couple of stitches, then gently pull to expose more stitches, then clip and pull, etc. Works better for me than any seam ripper ever has. My sister does the same thing. :D

I like serger seam rippers. They have flat blades that get right under those stitches. Also, the handles are flat so they don't roll. star619

my mom bought me a really nice one I can't tell you how much she paid for it but I didn't like , I stick to the old cheap one that looks the one my granny had.

I have a pair of scissors that a nurse left at my home. They were used to remove surgical stitches. They are very small and pointy. I can get under stitches about 4 apart and snip the thread. After doing this I can pull the thread on the back and it just comes off in one piece. Quick and easy and no stress on the fabric. I think they are available at medical supply stores. Haven't used a seam ripper since they were left here years ago.
