Help with Seam Rippers
#61
I use most any brand. I am finding that I need a bigger handle to grip so that's mostly what I look for. I would hate to count all my rippers as I have them everywhere. They do get dull after a while I sure don't want to be without one. Guess that tells how often I have to unsew. :lol:

The sharper the better. That is why I use scalpels. My doctor gives them to me. (I prefer the #11) I read an article in one of the quilting magazines where they compared all of the types out there and the one that they liked the best looks just like a scalpel.... hmmmm. When you use those curved ones with the ball they tend to stretch your fabric, get caught if they are not sharp enough and force you to "force" it. Which of course causes you to cut the fabric rather than the thread.
Before you say "no way" - try it for your self.

I think I'd be afraid to use that one. Looks scary!

I love the Bernina seam ripper. I can rip faster and that is important to me because I love "ripin" and I seem to do a lot of it. The difference in it and other rippers seems to be it just glides under the stitch like butter. I never have issues getting under the stitch even if it is quite small.
