If you use sheets in quilting and want to open the long cuff seams and hems, inserting the ball end of the seam ripper under the stitching, as shown in the u-tube, is the fast and easy way to complete this task. Remember to move evenly and steadily so as not to accidentally rip the fabric. I have tried several different rippers and agree that the smaller ones are easier to control than the larger-maybe just because you are closer to the spot you are ripping. Remember to pass this tip along to your fellow quilters-they'll think you're the smartest person on the planet.

That's the way I was taught by my Home Ec teacher, many years ago. I thought everybody did it that way. LOL

Me neither...you learn something new every day and this is the most useful thing I've learned in ages!

Oh, so pretty! Does anyone know the manufacturer of the seam ripper she is using? All I could hear was that "from CA"

Did you know that rippers get "dull"? I just never thought about this.
