Seam Ripper is used to remove stitches, open seams, cut threads and open buttonholes. As "unsewing" is just as important to a quality finished project as putting in the stitches, a seam ripper is an invaluable tool for anyone who works with needle and thread. This seam ripper features a very narrow blade and a protective ball on the hook to protect fabric. Long flat handle, easy and comfortable to grip.
