    I attended a class with Carol Doak once; she uses & sells a tool that's a lot like a utility knife for ripping out stitches. After some practice, it works well and I don't use a seam ripper anymore. Probelm is, there are frustrating times when having sharp objects handy is not a good idea, know what I mean?!!! Arrrggghhhh!! :hunf: :evil: :shock:

    (just joking)

    When I started welding the grinder was my best friend. The better I got at welding the less I used the grinder. When I started quilting the same goes for the seem ripper.
