My New Favorite Notion

While at Empty Spools I was introduced to a new WONDERFUL tool!

The Seam Fix!


It looks like a seam ripper with a funny end you say?  Yes it is, but it's so much better!  Here's how it works.


You use the conventional working end like you do any other seam ripper-cutting through every 4 to 5 stitches and


 pull the bobbin thread from the back.


But then you're left with all the little thread pieces to pick out!


You flip the seam ripper to the other side and "erase" the threads with the funny silicone end!


It really works!  It has 2 different silicone tips, one is on the top cover and the other is on the opposite end of the ripper.  I personally like the larger one on the cover but have used both and different times.



The only problem I've found with it is that the top does not fit on the end of the handle when it's removed.

It comes in 3 colors, Hot Pink, Teal (it looked more like blue to me) and Grey (which looked like black to me).  I got the Pink so I could find it easily when I'm in the throes of quilt making!  I got it at the store they set up during seminar but I found it on Amazon.  Maybe you can find it at your local quilt store.
