Colorful Seam Ripper with Metal Tip and Safety Ball

Classic Stitch Breaker: The tool that opens each stitch without damaging the fabric

Anyone who seamstresses reaches the moment when a stitch needs to open: a stitch that comes out crooked, a button loop that has been sewn and needs to be cut, a button that needs to be taken off, or a label that scratches. The colorful stitch forum is built for just that. It has a long, comfortable plastic handle, and a metal tip split into two teeth: a long, pointed tooth that goes under the thread, and a short tooth with a red ball at the end. Between the two sits a small, rounded blade that cuts the thread as soon as you advance the unword.

The red ball is what distinguishes a good form from a simple one-shot tool. It glides over the fabric and is not caught in the fibers, so you can move the form between two layers of a long stitch and open it in one motion, without piercing the fabric. When you're done, close the end with the transparent lid, which protects the blade and your hands.

What's in the forum

• Split Metal Edge: A long tooth for pricking under the wire and a rounded blade for cutting.
• Red protection ball: at the end of the short tooth, for slipping on the fabric.
• Transparent protective cover: Closes on the tip and keeps it sharp.
• Colorful plastic handle: long and rounded, in shades of red, blue, yellow, green or brown.

Common Uses

• Unraveling a stitch that was sewn out of place, by machine or by hand.
• Opening button loops after sewing them in the machine.
• Remove buttons, labels, and zippers before repairing.
• Opening side seams to narrow or expand a garment.
• Cleaning of thread residues after unraveling.

Who is it suitable for

For seamstresses at home and clothing repairers, tailors and repair shops, fashion students, instructors in sewing classes and studios. Thanks to the different colors, it is easy to divide a forum into each workstation, and immediately identify who each forum belongs to. Stores and workshops can order several units together.

Pro Tips

• Button loop: Insert a lateral pin into the end of the loop before opening. The pin stops the form before it cuts the closed end.
• Long stitch: Cut each third or fourth stitch on one side of the fabric, flip, and pull the thread from the other side. It's faster and safer than cutting each stitch.
• Between two layers: Insert the side of the red ball between the layers, and slowly advance. The ball slides onto the fabric, and the blade cuts only the threads that connect the layers.
• Delicate fabric: Work from the opposite side of the fabric and in good light, smoothing the long tooth under the string only.

Common mistakes

• Force pushing: When the fork is not advanced, the wire is not inside the blade. Remove and reinsert, instead of pushing and tearing.
• Loop opening without a stop pin: The forum easily slides through the tip and opens more than it should.
• Storage without a lid: The blade is damaged by contact with other tools in the box, and the exposed edge may stab.
• Use of blunt form: A form that pulls the thread instead of cutting it requires force, and force increases the chance of a hole in the fabric.

How is it different from the other forums on the site?

This is the basic forum in the category, with a rounded handle in different colors, and is suitable for different positions when you need several forums. Next to it there is a forum with a wide and flat brown handle in a personal package, and a forum made in Japan with a blue handle. All the options can be seen in the category of stitch forms.
