    That is the kind of seam ripper I learned to sew with!! Actually I would still use that if I had one but just never think to go to a store and get any. Nothing better than the old fashioned single edge razor blades!!

    These are also used in paint scrapers, so look in the paint accessory section.

    Lots of folks answered your question. Just want to comment that you must be pretty skilled with it to not to end up either cutting your fabric or bleeding on it.

    Wish I had known about the scraping away trick. That carbon copy stuff was a real pain. If I used white out on the original & copy the boss counted my errors and let me know about it.

    [thimblebug6000] we typed up "spreadsheets" ... there were 4 carbons ..any typing errors. stopped & scraped away the carbon error... rolled back & retyped...

    I buy a box from Harbor Freight for about 6.00. The box has 100 blades in it.. Good old Harbor Freight.. Love that store.

    Here is the link. They don't show the box but they do carry them.
