Thanks, Lizzy, for the tip. My machine has a built in area for different sizes of feet, plus seam ripper. My problem is remembering to put it back! I was taught to use a razor blade, also; trouble is that it stretches the fabric when you pull seams apart to use the razor.
By the way, just finished ripping for the second time on a very small project! AARRRRGH

I make my pin chusions and leave them a little loose and I then can stab my seam ripper right in the top and it stands up and is ready when I need it....I have three different chusions and each one has a seam ripper standing right up in the top....

Now I know where at least one of my seam rippers is handy. Yellow stuff can be removed at any time with no residue left.

Good idea. a friend made a small basket made with cord wrapped in fabric. It is just the right size for seam ripper, twizers, odds and ends that you use frequently. It is small enough fits next to my machine. I love it.
