Think I may have know about that, but I don't like all those tiny bits of thread, so I use it the way I would a pin. Cut every couple of inches and pull the thread away.
Thanks - always good to have a refresher.

42046I had done that before, but mine is not that sharp. I want her seam ripper. I like the stiletto too. Now I have tool envy.

168892no i did not know and i am also doing needlework for 40 odd years well one is never to old to learn a few new tricks regarding needlework thank you for the information will definitly try it next time sewing
1969I had a quilting friend teach me that years ago. It really can save you time. You do have to use a sharp seam ripper and if you can put the fabric back under the pressure foot to hold in place as you rip - it goes faster. If you have a long seam lay the fabric flat out on a counter and you can zip right along. It does not work if your seam was in a circle or zigzag. The seam ripper is one of my favorite tools but, I've never invested in such a beautiful one. I just keep replacing mine from WalMart. Only about $1.25
19439Yes, I was blessed with a sister and grandmother that taught me this and many other things. The trick now, is for me to remember all I was taught. ;)
57616How about that. Never to old to learn something new. Thanks
