This intrigues me, using a seam ripper never seemed to happen in a certain way. But now that I think about it, my preference is to pick carefully between the two pieces. By carefully, I mean don't pull the thread or the fabric but gently cut the thread three or four stitches away from the opening then loosen to the cut and continue on. I find that this way I end up with one thread not cut making it easy to pull out one long thread. It also makes the thread obviously different from the fabric.

I've done Loretta's and Jannie's method. Both are equally simple.

Thanks everyone!!

I pick on side (usually the one I can see better) and snip every 4 threads or so. then turn over and pull on the thread you did not snip and it should pull right out. Use a piece of tape to collect all the little snippets of thread left in the fabrics.

Let me be more specific.......Okay, I've sewn my two pieces together and realized I goofed. Do I use the seam ripper to pull the sewn line out on the outside of the fabric or do I open up my sewn pieces and use the seam ripper down the middle of the two? Does that make more sense? |
I have used both ways for the seam ripper. I do think I will look into getting the one from Clover. I do need a sharper one.

My favorite :D :D |

Just be glad seam rippers have evolved to what they are today. This is one of Singer's needle threader/seam ripper combo tools from the 50's. I used to use just a single edge razor blade...it goes pretty fast that way! :roll:
