If you think plucking is good, you should try waxing. All the pain of plucking AND burns from hot wax. Mwahahaha!

Actually I started cold waxing at home after getting the burns at a salon. It's not too bad, but the shaver sounds good.

ok, we've gone from stitch removal to hair removal in 5 pages ... ha ha ... love this group

Reverse sewing (ripping out) can be done using your rotary cutter. It's tricky, but goes very fast. Pick out the first few stitches then hold the rotary cutter like you would a pencil. Be careful you only touch the stitches and not the fabric. Like I said - it takes practice but goes quickly. Good luck.

Some of you must must be into PAIN........?
Yikes, cold or hot wax on your eyebrows??

Yes, I use the sm. embroidery scissors. I keep them mounted on a stick-on hook on the end of my sew. mach. I like them better than seam rippers. I use them for many things & they're my favorites.

I tell my sewing students on the first day that the seam ripper is their Best Friend! I think I'll name him Jack now, too!

Eyebrow razors? YIKES! I usually just ignore mine, and they're pretty substantial - just don't like the pain....but maybe I'll pick some up to use for my (frequent) un-sewing

How come I could give birth 7 times with no meds, but can't stand having my eyebrows done? Even "threading" which my dd told me didn't hurt as much, really DID!

awwwww sorry about that...Been there done that :cry:

I bought glasses with frames that covered my eyebrows and that took care of the brow.

I am well acquainted with the ripper. Only thing is, I use a razor blade inserted into one of those paint scraper things. That protects my hands and makes it easy to rip away. Sorry you have so much to rip!
