I am not familiar with FE but will search it out and see what I can find. I used to use the blades all the time for cutting stencils as well as ripping seams.

I typed in Freight Express and got airplane shipping lines, is there more to the address?

The ball on the seam ripper is for when you're cutting buttonholes open, it keeps you from over ripping.

I actually you my small rotary cutter. It works best for me.

I use the seam ripper I had when I first started sewing many moons ago. It has a blue handle that's flat, a fine point that gets in the grooves of very tight seams and the little ball on the short end. I've had that thing for years and years.

This is the one that I use as well. I like the way it feels in my hand and the sharp end seems to be the right size and shape. I'm thnking about getting a couple more so I can keep one with the sewing machine I take to classes and have an extra one.


love the pattern on your pic....what is it called?

A friend made a large wooden handle for me to insert the rippers into. I find it easier to handle than the small ones that I keep dropping all of the time.
