Me too! BUT, be careful, I tried it yesterday to open a straight seam on a hem......and oops, must have just jiggled a bit and it made a little cut in fabric......I really prefer to just cut thru about every 6 stitches, then just turn over and pull at the uncut thread.....or as EB does it...with the rotary cutter.

Well, who'da thunk it?! LOL! I just realized the ball is missing on mine! Gotta get a new one, but I don't think I'd spend 18 dollars on a seam ripper, even if I won the lottery! For that much, it oughta do it for you!

Until I worked in an alterations shop, I didn't change out my seam ripper as soon as I should have. Whenever I'd be struggling just a little, I'd toss the old one and get out a new one and "Oh Boy, what a difference!" Like cutting through butter with a sharp knife. It's totally worth it to go buy several new ones and change them out.
