Another use for this handy item is as a "seam ripper"...just gently "pull" open the two fabric pieces sewed together and then run the teeth of the device on the threads and it will cut the threads and not the fabric. Really makes quick work of ripping a sewing seam...their is a mini hair trimmer by Wahl that does the same thing but it is a bit larter...also works great and covers a bigger surface.

60484Can't wait to get one! I bet it will help with the organza edges on the ornaments and paper doll clothes. I think I saw one "As Seen on TV". Excellent tip! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

6241I read reviews on those things and was surprised at the poor ratings. They are also incredibly expensive here (USA). I may take another look. Thank you for the heads-up with yet another gadget that works in the sewing room. :)
