Good luck on trying to figure out what's going on.

I have the Gingher seam ripper. I had problems at first. But, I figured the best way for me is to lay my pieces flat on a table and hold the ripper parallel to the seam. I have the ripper pretty much horizontal on the fabric. I hope this makes sense.

And then there's this clutz who was using a clover ripper on too small stitches and ripped her finger when the ripper went in and out on the other side of my finger. Talk about bleeding! I'll use a different ripper next time!
