    Yes, after 50 years and many rippers that came with machines, I too finally broke down and bought a Clover. Now it seems like I'm always ripping seams out! Am I looking for excuses to use my ripper? Is it just so easy that I rip out small imperfections that I may have left before I got a good ripper? Who knows what goes on in the twilight zone of my mind. But I do love my Clover ripper.

    I see new members at my guild using the awful $1 seam rippers and I hand them my Clover. They are amazed at the difference. I say keep it. I have more then I could ever use. I buy them when I run across a 50% sale at the closest Hancock Fabric store. Fons and Porter's red an cream color soft handle seam ripper is excellent too. I don't keep a seam ripper long, I like them to be very sharp and as much as I use one it gets dull fast. I really like the surgical seam ripper. It unzips a long seam in seconds.

    I have maybe a dozen seam rippers, they get lost easy. The type I buy the most are flat on the handle so they won't roll off the edge of the table. Couldn't sew without one.
