By the way, all joann.com notions are 50% off (other things on sale too) so I stocked up on 505 spray and got a couple of other things. Free shipping with $35 order with code AMB210.
I use the cheap little one that came with my Janome - it has the best shape for the tiny machine stitches in quilting. My others were ok for sewing. Look carefully at the shape of the ripper to see if it will sneak under the stitched!
But even more than a good light is (oh I am getting old!!!) a magnifying glass on a stalk so you can use both hands on the ripper and the fabric. I have one stuck on my Ott light but I refused to use it...finally gave in and OMG what a difference! no more punctures!
