Great idea, thanks.

Yes, I have seen that. It's a very popular tool among machine embroiderers.

I have one and it works great. It is a Wahl and is small and very easy to hold. Sure saves a lot of time.

I use a mustache trimmer too..it was only about 8 bucks and much faster than other methods I've tried....

Uhm, never have seen this before, I wonder if I would accidentally cut the fabric.

Thanks for sharing this hint. I'll try it but I'm not sure I can dump my current best friend.

There was a lady demonstrating them at the San Diego Quilt show last year (the one for seam ripping) and she showed how it did not cut fabric. It was early in the day (I make my purchases at the end of the day) and when I went back to take a second look they were already sold out. I was impressed that it did not cut the fabric and didn't see them at the Road to California show.

I'm going to have to try this out, thanks for the ideal.

The only thing I don't like is it leaves those little bitty pieces of thread that are a bit hard to get out of the seam. Would be fast tho.

A mustash trimmer has been a part of my necessary sewing equipment every since I was shown how to use it. I also keep a roll of masking tape handy to get rid of the little pieces of leftover thread. Unfortuneatly ripping out mistakes is a necessary part of quilting, sewing or embroidery.
