(Not that I would ever make any sewing mistakes of course &nbsp;&#8211; wink.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I've been through my fair share of seam rippers these past couple of years, so much so that I used to buy my seam rippers 4 at a time because there is nothing that drives me crazy faster than a <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/l\/seam_ripper\" title=\"Amazon.com: seam ripper\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\">seam ripper<\/a> that just isn't sharp enough. &nbsp;Then, at last, I discovered where I was going wrong &#8211; cheap seam rippers just weren't good enough and didn't last long enough for the amount of work they had to do in my sewing room. &nbsp;That probably says a lot more about my sewing than it does about the seam rippers &#8211; blush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wrote about it in fact in this <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/budget-or-quality-brass-seam-ripper\/\">earlier article about seam rippers<\/a>, and then after hearing such great reviews, I treated myself to a super-shiny and super-sharp brass <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/l\/seam_ripper\" title=\"Amazon.com: seam ripper\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\">seam ripper<\/a> and I never looked back!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/budget-or-quality-brass-seam-ripper\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Seam-rippers-featured-image-231x300.jpg\" alt=\"Can you actually save money, time or get better results if you invest in a better seam ripper?
