After more years sewing than I care to count, I have settled on the extra cheap ones from jhittle.com. I almost never cut a whole bunch of threads at one time. If I have a whole seam to do, I cut a thread here and there then pull the opposite one out. Besides being cheap, these blades are very slender, so they go in easily. I treat them like sewing needles, planning on regular replacements. When I go to a guild retreat, I have extras to hand to friends. When my beloved decides to use a ripper to pry something nasty, I can be gracious and say, "Oh keep it, darling."

I like the Gingher one and now you can buy refills so that will be great.

I'll use the seam ripper to cut 3-4 stitches, then I use my box knife blade for the rest of the seam. |
I use the ones that came with my brother and babylock machines, they are awesome. I would use my gingher one if I could figure out how to work the dang thing

I usually buy the cheap ones and I buy several at a time. I usually can't find one when I need it.Sue

I know someone already recommended this, but I too like Havels seam ripper. I also like the seam ripper that came with my Babylock Ellisimo.

I like the one from Fons & Porter the best (the one with the red & white handle). I happen to LOVE seam rippers & have tons. I just wish you could buy them with different width blades. I would like a thinner (narrower?) blade because I use a pretty small stitch when I sew.

I like my Clover flat handled one for normal seams (2.5) but found a little tiny one that came with one of my machines. It is very sharp and small - wonderful for 2.0 seams!
