    I have them too. They are a great little tool. Good for snipping yarn when knitting or crocheting also. Are yours the ones you pinch together and place a cap on the points ? That's the kind I have , don't know if there are any others.

    Bless you heart Ditter, so sorry you and The Ripper have to join hands again. Makes for a very disgusting time when you think you are about through. Thinking about you and your extra work. Gerbie

    Time to take a break before I put Jack the ripper to work.I have to take out every seam and start over. You can be sure I will make sure I am using the right row for my guidelines this time!!! :|

    Where do you get eyebrow shavers? I have never heard of them.

    Oh I am so sorry. Please take a long break, and have a cup of tea to come you down before you rip all those seams out. God bless.
