I've broken the cheap ones but not the better quality ones. They sure do dull quickly tho.

I have broken plenty in my time an havedulled a few use chain saw file to sharpen when curve gets dull.

I have broken a seam ripper. I use the ones from my Pfaff dealer. They are more expensive but they stay sharp longer and last longer than other ones I have used.

HMMMM.....sounds like a whole lotta rippin' goin' on...i would like to hear the STORIES behind all the frustration....[guess they don't make them like they used to 'cause i still have the same one i started with......]me thinks you are all working too hard at UNquilting.....there are easier ways you know..........

Its funny that this thread came up when it did, because I actually used my thread ripper the other day.

Its no secret I collect treadles and you find all sorts of neat things in the drawers. Usually I fine the old double edge razor blades by the gross :lol: but never a seam ripper.

When I screw up on some of my quilts I just sit there looking at it thinking can I get away with this? I hate having to rip threads!!
