A few weeks ago there was a big uproar on Facebook about how to use the seam ripper properly. Something like 95% of the people didn’t know how to use it. \u00a0I didn’t read the blog at the time. \u00a0I should have though. \u00a0Every, single, time, I use my seam ripper I wonder if I am using it wrong. \u00a0That’s so silly. \u00a0It works the way I use it, does it matter how I use a seam ripper? \u00a0The sewing police isn’t going to get me! But, needless to say, I would fret over and over every time I looked at a seam ripper. “Am I using it the right way?” \u00a0UGH! I would turn the seam ripper over and over and search on google for ways to use the seam ripper. \u00a0Such agony over a small tool.<\/p>\n

Well, today I was tired of hearing those taunting words….”95% of people do not use it properly” over and over in my head. \u00a0So, I Googled How to Use a Seam Ripper<\/a> properly. There it was….the top entry! \u00a0I FOUND PEACE at last! \u00a0Only to find out I was among the 5% who already knew how to use the seam ripper properly. \u00a0But, I can now use it and not hear those taunting words in my head. \u00a0YAY ME!<\/p>\n

Let me tell you, there are many parts to a seam ripper. \u00a0The point, is used to catch the stitches, the blade cuts them, and that cute little round ball? \u00a0It protects your fabric. If you are using a seam ripper on the backside of a seam, pulling every forth stitch out, you will never need the red ball. \u00a0They wouldn’t decorate a seam ripper, trust me! \u00a0The red ball is very important. \u00a0So, in order to get the best use out of the red ball, it must be used properly.<\/p>\n
