I think I'll try the eyebrow trimmer. If I tried a razor I would probably cut the fabric.

I grew up using a razor blade for ripping long seams and the seam ripper for a stitch or two, but when I re-started quilting in the rotary cutter era I started using the rotary cutter and have not looked back. These look interesting, but I am apt to be able to find my rotary cutter in the sewing room than another tool :).

I love it! I was taught to rip out seems with a razor blade too! I still occasionally think about getting one when I have a long seam to rip - they were great!!

I use my small rotary cutter which works great but I'm going to get some of these eyebrow things. Thanks for the tip.

I have done this, used the rotary cutter. way faster than trying to snip with scissors.

I wonder if an x-acto knife would work... with that the blade is small enough to control easily, plus it can be retracted for safety.
