Does anyone have the one with the light and magnifying glass? I have a clover which does the trick, but I'm going to have to stop using it so much or get me some glasses.

Any sharp seam ripper is a good one. A seam ripper doesn't last for years. They get dull. If you have to tug on a thread to break it, the ripper is ready to be tossed. I use Clover because it's available at most shops and seem to stay sharp longer then the others. I use about three a year.

I love the little Dritz one that Walmart sells. I have only bought a couple. I use it lots more than I want. Goes under the small stitches.

I gave my Mom the Ginger seam ripper for Christmas. It really has a wonderfully comfortable handle, and compared to the seam rippers I have had .. it was a noticible step up. I got it when Jo'Anns had gingers on sale plus a coupon for extra off total sale. I doubt I would have ever paid full price. I do like using a craft knife sometimes .. soooo sharp! and replacement of a blade is easy. But do note it is a really sharp blade, much care is needed not to cut something other than stitching.

So are you actually picking apart the seams when disassembling clothing 'Bonnie Hunter Style' or just using the seam ripper to remove buttons, task stiches. I only ask because Bonnie acutally uses scissors and just cuts off the seams.

I have the light and magnifying glass one but can't recommend it, the blade part is awful. If only I could attach a clover ripper to the handle it would be great!

Me too! Didn't like it at all!! It felt very awkward to use.

I only use it for taking off buttons and sometimes (if it's worth it) for hems, cuffs, collar, or anything that is small without interfacing -- it's amazing how many decent size pieces you can get out of those areas. The flat-felled seams I usually just rip or cut with my forged steel dressmaking shears (which I just keep on sharpening and will probably last forever!).
