I think those of use who started out sewing garments--say 50 years ago!--were taught about the red ball in home ec. I see a lot of quilters who have never sewn garments. Those long seams in a garment would be a bear without the ball!

I've been doing it backwards all these years!!!
I never knew because as a kid, we didn't have a seam ripper in the house. My Mom always used a blade, you know like the one my Dad had in his shaver, to rip seams out. Also don't remember using one in home-ec.
Thanks so much for posting.

I watched that video a while ago, I tried her method and was amazed at how smooth and quick I ripped the seam apart. I think my seam ripper from JoAnn's works just fine. I'm not ordering her fancy expensive one, it is nice looking but If I owned it that would be the one that I misplace, never to be found again.
