An pair of inexpensive reading glasses from the pharmacy, although you can buy them anywhere. When I can REALLY see those little stitches I have no trouble ripping them right out with almost any of my ripping tools.

I agree with JCrow - http://www.havelssewing.com/seam-rip...pro-18950.html, this is the best seam ripper I have ever used, be sure to purchase new blades when you purchase it. I took the binding off aking size quilt in about 20 minutes using this scappel knife. Highly recommended!!!

I just bought a new seam ripper 'gadget' called 'seam-fix'. It's a seam ripper but on the end of the lid is a ball that 'grabs' the stray threads after you rip out a seam. It works wonderfully. They list a youtube sight on the package: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXyot_s7Bhc.

I still love singe edge razor blades. They are inexpensive, sharp and can be replaced at the first sign of dull. They are readily available at Wal Mart's razor departments, any drug store and the hardware store. froggyintexas
Most of my seam rippers, stitch removers/cutters, etc. have gotten quite dull.
I'm going to be buying some replacements soon, and would like to have some opinions on what 'make and model' you prefer - and why.
At the moment, my favorite tool is a very narrow pointy manicure scissor.
