These are the tools we are used to using when taking out stitching that needs to be removed. I've had some of these 'bad boys' for years. And I think every sewing machine you buys these days, has done that comes with it. When we sisters turned 12, our mother purchased a sewing box, filled with sewing goodies for all of us. What a great idea! I think I still have some of those tools, years later.
These certainly do the job when it comes to opening a seam. But like everything else, there is something new and better!
And here it is! What's so great about that? you ask. Well, it's not so much the seam ripper that is different- its the extra part on the end, that is going to be a life saver to you. It is shaped like a honey comb and is plastic. How it works, I can't tell you, no engineer here, just know it does. When you are done opening your seams, you have all those extra threads, that need to be picked out of there, and this little end is there to help with that job. If you move the plastic end over the threads, it picks them up, they end up sticking to this end for easy removal. What a great idea. So this may want to be the tool that you put in your daughter's sewing box!
