I love this for ripping they stay sharp a long time and the curve tip is great to pick up stitches.

I use a pair of stork embroidery scissors. The points are fine enough to open the tiniest of stitches. I could never bond with a seam ripper.

Same here.

Havel surgical steel seam ripper. Have had it for several years and have only changed the blade three time. Be careful as it is sharp, but it does get under the stitches really easy.

From Don-isewman--I'm just like all quilter. There are times, I've had to rip out, thru out, some of my sewing project's off and on. My sister/law, got this wooden heart item for me she bought at a yard sale, and on this wooden heart. it has a wooden cut out pair of scissors, and next to it has this saying---"As ye sew so shall ye rip" quilte true isn't it.

Clover for me, and I use it a lot. :thumbup:
|
I haven't found a seam ripper that I like yet, so I use a large tapestery needle or a yarn needle. They are comfy to use and pick those little stitches right out of there!

i bought a set of 3 titanium scissors and use the little one to rip seams. it stays sharp and is easy to hold on too, at least for me
|
Based on one of those consumer-report-type comparisons in a quilt mag, I recently got a basic Dritz ripper (blue handle). I'm really happy with it.
