Oh no Ditter! Thanks for sharing though - seems like there are many ways to rip out seams. Good tips resulted. But I still don't know what an eyebrow shaver is. Or how it would be used.

Eyebrow shaver looks like a dangerous tool to use on your eyebrows or a quilt!

Walgreens has them. I'm not sure how to work them properly, but I have them.

I use a pair of little "snippers" (not sure what they are called - the kind with no finger holes - cost less than $2). The points are very precise and they are excellent for going in the seam and only clipping the thread. I love them.
