    Ok, I though I would show you all my "gizmo" Cheap, easy to replace blade, works great.

    Basically, picked up a wood heart from Michaels, drilled a hole to fit cheap standard seam ripper and then painted it. When the ripper gets dull, just replace. It comes apart for easy storage.

    I do use the cutter on my machine for the end of my chain but I don't want to dull it by cutting everything.

    That is dangerous looking. I know me and I'd jab my hand in no time. The Gizmo blade is not exposed.

    I also have one of these and I use it all the time. The best 10 bucks I have spent in a while. It works wonderfully

    I LOVE my Gizmo! I keep it beside my machine, near my iron and just happily (and safely) use it all the time!

    The GIZMO looks so handy, where can I buy one online as I am not able to get out to shop? Thanks
