My sister-in-law introduced me to a new seam ripper. You can get them at the Dollar Tree - they are eyebrow razors - two to a package!!! Never heard of using these before, but I watched her rip a seam and it works great!!!! Has this been posted before - or is this her original great idea?

I have bought the best seam ripper at Atlanta Thread. They have 2 sizes and the little one is great for undoing quilt block seams. Unfortunately--it looks like Atlanta Thread is no more. I went to their site yesterday to look at some guttermann
thread and it seems they are now together with another company. From what I have seen on the website, it looks like the other company took over. What a bummer. I bought bunches of stuff from them.

i would be happy to just have a seam ripper that does not poke holes in your fabric. do they make any like that? the holes is why i stopped using seam rippers in my garment sewing days now i use small embroidery scissors when i need to take things apart.

i had received a coupla seam rippers as swap gifts and decided to use one the other day when making pillowcases, and guess what...... holes. i guess i do not have the skills necessary to use seam rippers. i have several pairs of embroidery scissors that work just fine.

I have the Mighty Bright and I love it. Light, magnifier,and sharp, pricked myself the first time. As far as I am concerned it is well worth the money
