Seam Rippers ♥♥ How many do you have and what kinds do you like the best? ♥♥

I like the clover flat one if I am picking out a few stitches. If its a long seam I pick a few then switch to my absolute favorite mini seam ripper that I buy by the dozens from tooltron.com. The used to be $1 a nd I see mow they are $1.50. Still a bargain. The tool is essential when ripping out a paper Ed seam. Our guild also bought 100 for guild members to have. When I teach paper piecing I always give one to each person.

Love my Clover for quilting. Have 2 heavy duty ones that I use for my alterations and repairs. Every once in a while I grab my Clover and use it on a repair...then run to the LQS and buy a new one as I end up snapping the tip off. Someone bought me a set of the Pro Seam Ripper with picker and ripper. Not a fan as its easy to cut the fabric with them.

I have 4-5 that came with machines, worthless since they all are dull. Actually they should be completly worn down to the handle as much as I rip things apart. I like my Gingher best.

My favorite stitch ripper is a half a pair of embroidery scissors (lost the screw) - the point picks and the blade slices right down the seam (if I'm lucky)
When I can't find one of the 1/2 scissors, my favorite stitch ripper is the other stitch ripper I can't find... The one with the big wooden handle someone made just for me..... or maybe the expensive one with the silver handle that I lost... and sew on.
