That's a new one to me, and it would be well used in my house.

It was recently featured on the Clotilde web site and sold out right away.

I just started taking quilting classes (not my first time however) and the teacher told us about this seam ripper. The entire class had to buy one, think we cleaned out the shop on this one. "seams to work GREAT!" this is now my BFF!!

However, I've always found that an emery board does a very good job of snagging those tiny loose threads!

thanks for the emery board tip!

I was at that show too, sure had the isles between the quilts small. I'm not very big but it was kind of tight in a crowd.

Sharyn - you gotta go first thing either Thursday or Friday!

Lots of space then!

The problem I have with this is that it is round. Mine rolled into a black hole somewhere. I am guessing it went along with my Gingher seam ripper into the trash next to my sewing tale. Too bad so sad.

I bought the same tool on a shop hop this summer, but never tried it. Reason= I can't find it anywhere. Sure hope it turns up or I will have to go buy another one.

I bought one just yesterday at our metro quilt shop hop here in Phoenix. I love it. Unlike my Clover seam ripper it has a top - a useful top - and it fits my hand. I need fat handled tools. Easier to use with my arthritis.
