We have Ghingers that we bought 1/2 price on Black Friday last year. I liked them at first, but the more I use mine the less I like it, and have found myself going back to the cheapie more often than not. My wife likes the Ghinger still. I plan to check some others as I can find a good deal, but I suspect I will still like the cheap one the best. I like being able to break a stitch, then pull the thread out in big pieces.

I have about 4 or 5. I also have a set in a leather case, I baught at Lee Valley.
They're a stitch picker & a seam ripper. They are very sharp & esecially good for very close stitches. I find Lee Valley has quite a few items for the ladies.

I'm with Bella Boo here. I like the nice skinny bladed surgical ones the best. Sometimes I also use a craft knife

Have 6, 5 that came with my machines, and I never use, too small for me, and one blue handled one that I have been using for years, don't even know the brand.
