Need Recommendation for Seam Ripper!!
#31
I have Fons and Porter one that is red and white and I like that one. Plus I have one that I bought at a flea market a man had take a piece of wood and ground out the middle so you could stick the little blue plastic seam ripper into it. But I haven't been able to locate that one lately. I also bout one that has a curved hook that I really like but I don't know the name of that one. My sewing room is torn apart as DH had to repair a leak that we had in the basement.

I like the short ones because I can handle them better.
Which one would you all recommend????

I use the Clover - here it comes with a cream handle. I've looked at the F&P one and it looks like it's just as fine and has a larger handle.
I also have one that someone's husband made for me. He made a larger handle on a lathe and glued in the tip. It's great for when my arthritis is acting up.

About 6 months ago I heard about using "eyebrow trimmers". They work! I've actually attempted to slip up and it does NOT cut the fabric, but goes very quickly on the thread. The technique is to hold each side of the seam and stroke down the middle. Works for me. Bought mine in a package of three for less than $3 and gave two as gifts. You'll find them near the eyelash curlers in the cosmetics section at any big box store or pharmacy that carries that sort of thing.
