Does anyone have a recommendation for a good seam ripper?? I've used the cheap ones. I have a gingher (which I hate to say, I really DON'T like). I want something that is really sharp clear down to the point!

Seems everyone at Guild is now using the mustache trimmers at the $$$ store!
I have not found a really good one either--the big ones you can hold are not sharp and those darn little ones are hard to hang onto..... |
I use the surgical scalp like ones with the blue handles.

I use the Alex Anderson's 4 in one tool. It has a pretty good seam ripper.

Clover brands; the Japanese make the BEST sewing tools!

I also like Clover.

I use a pair of Havel snipeze to snip the threads on one side of the seam. They are super sharp and work better than any dull seam ripper.
Here's a pair, <http://thesewingcenter.com/havel-sni...rs-p-5370.html> |
I have the Surgical Seam Ripper (2 of them in fact) from Nancy's Notion's. They're super sharp and I haven't poked a hole in fabric since I got them! I use one for my hand embroidery and the other stays on my sewing machine.
Tried to post a link but it doesn't work. I'm new - haven't got the hang of that yet! You can find it in her on-line catalog. |
I like Havels seam ripper, alot like a scalpel and it works great. Comes with extra blades too

I love the seam ripper that came with my Husqvarna Viking machine. If you're near an independent dealer, they could order you one if they don't have them in stock. Also, I got a folding seam ripper in the Fons and Porter section at JoAnns and I love it. It folds up so I don't ever have to worry about losing the cap! It was a decent price too. |
