I don't know if anyone has posted this here before, but in our quiltgroup we have been using these eyebrow razors for quite a while. I still have one regular seamripper, which is very sharp and I love it!

My sister-in-law introduced me to a new seam ripper. You can get them at the Dollar Tree - they are eyebrow razors - two to a package!!! Never heard of using these before, but I watched her rip a seam and it works great!!!! Has this been posted before - or is this her original great idea?

I haven't seen one yet. But, I bet it is great. I like a lot of light when I'm working on something. Thanks for telling about it.

I've seen them but haven't bought one - yet.. Waiting to see what everyone is saying I guess.

The "finger" at the end which slides under the stitch is too big for the stitches I make. So I always go back to my fav seam ripper, which is the red Fons and Porter. I do like the light, though. I also don't like that the working metal end of the seam ripper is imbedded in a clear plastic cap which fits over the lighted end of the penlight like a cap on an ink pen. I also don't like that the metal working part is made to be able to rock a bit back and forth. I want one that is fixed, not rocking. For me it was a wasted $10 and a huge disappointment. Just mho.

I have the mighty bright. I love it. The magnifier and the light sure do come in handy.

Just found it on line at stuff4sewing.com for $4.73. Looks like one of my lighted crochet hooks.

I've spread this one throughout our guild about a year or so ago. Works like a charm. I bought them at Target - came 3 in a package. Never knew such tools existed for the intended purpose. Just goes to show you how great some people's imagination for repurposing can be.

What an interesting looking seam ripper - I have to use a generic Ott light when I sew - helps me to see better & although I love my gingher seam ripper - might look for it the next time I go to Joann's
