Undo a Wrong Stitch in Seconds, Without Damaging the Fabric
Every sewer knows the moment: a crooked seam, a hem that is too short, a label that scratches. Picking stitches out with small scissors is slow and it is easy to cut the fabric. This set of five seam rippers gives you the right tool for every job, from fine stitches to long seams.

Why unpicking with scissors is such a pain
The set
Five tools for every unpicking job
The set has two large seam rippers, two small seam rippers and a curved thread cutter. Keep one by the sewing machine, one in your sewing box and one in your travel kit.
- 2 large seam rippers: a sturdy handle for everyday seams.
- 2 small seam rippers: handy for fine, close stitches and for carrying with you.
- 1 curved thread cutter: a curved blade for cutting through rows of stitches.
- Clear caps: cover the sharp tips when you put them away.
How it works
Slide, lift and cut
Slide the long point under the stitch you want to remove. The sharp curve between the two points cuts the thread, while the small ball on the shorter point helps guard the fabric.
Push the ripper along the seam and it opens stitch after stitch, quickly and neatly.
For long seams
A curved cutter for overlocked and long seams
The curved blade glides along serged and overlocked edges and through rows of stitches. Use it for taking in clothes, removing labels, opening hems and fixing sewing mistakes.
How to use it
Unpicking a seam step by step
1. Take off the cap
Remove the clear cap and hold the ripper like a pen.
2. Slide under the stitch
Push the long point under one stitch, keeping the ball side against the fabric.
3. Cut and move on
Lift gently so the blade cuts the thread, then move on to the next stitch, or push along the seam to open several at once.
4. Pull out the loose threads
Pull away the cut threads and put the cap back on after use.
Sizes
Three lengths for different jobs
The small seam ripper is about 8.7 cm (3.4 in) long, the large seam ripper about 14 cm (5.5 in) and the curved thread cutter about 13.5 cm (5.3 in).
