    I have an easier way.... don't rip the seams, let them be the way they were created ( that's what they secretly want) ... of course I'm sloppy, I keep hearing that there's such a thing as a strait seam... I don't know if I believe in that creature. hee, hee

    I think it would take someone very special to break a seamripper while pulling out threads.
    I can't say that I ever have, but mine DO get dull quickly, if that's any consolation.

    Been there, done that. Cut myself one time when I broke it or rather stuck myself.
