Wonderful recommendations! I'm headed to Hancock's in the morning to see what they have at 50% off. Also, going to see if my doctor son can get some of the scapel ones for me (free, hopefully!). Have tried the moustache trimmers (found at Walgreen's) but didn't work for me. I also use the seam ripper for taking out emboideery and it works well unless it is on a knit item and then it is a pain in the b***!
