    I'm taking apart a dress with an unusual style but awful fabric that my sister sent; she had a cute one I admired so she sent this more as a pattern than as a garment. The whole thing is serged, even the edges of the facings! I knew you would have the answer to picking all this, I don't want to lose the edges and seam allowances. Thanks, Catherine, you have saved me hours!!

    How amazing... and humiliating. I have been sewing since I was 10 but sadly it was not taught at my school and just muddled through i am now 71 and still didn't know some of these! I do miss the comforting rhythm of a treadle sewing machine!

    I have loved Clover since I first met the brand about 40 years ago on Okinawa, Japan, I still have this seam ripper, and it is still the sharpest among many! (Love their other items too! Glass head pins!)

    I 2 methods I use. The 1st one specifically for cotton: Hold the sides together puching the seam ripper through. The 2nd: use the seam ripper to cuts in the bobbin thread every 2-3 inches (some fabric you can go farther) get the thread out anout .5" and finish pulling with needle node pliers. This is my favorite bacause there is less wear on my hands and it is fast.

    Great video!
    Method #1 is usually best for quilters. A little piece of masking tape wrapped around your finger makes quick work of picking up the little bits of thread. Would work on method #4 as well.

    As always, comprehensive teaching!
    I have amassed a pile of projects that need unpicking, a serged top made of both princess seams and inset triangles and an 8 point star with y seams. I have been procrastinating both and questioning whether it was easier to begin anew. Your video has convinced me to give both a go! Thanks so much!

    My son got me a custom made seam ripper. It's 2 different sizes on each end. Made out of wood. He was looking at pens, etc. The man who makes them told my son he would give him 1 if he could tell him what it was, he was around 18 , the man and others were shocked he knew what it was. lol

    Great methods; thanks for sharing! I’ve also used a flat razor blade when the seams can be pulled open. It is dangerous & can easily cut fabric. My mom used that method a lot but was very adept at using a razor blade! 🤗

    If you hate picking out the little bits of thread, you can use a lint roller or a pencil eraser to pull them out.

  • @wendyfay16

    #2 you only need to cut a couple of threads, then open the seam and run your seam ripper along with the red bulb underneath the thread ... then carefully zip right along those stitches that you are opening in-between the two pieces of fabric. Your #3 way is faaar tooo harsh not on your fingers, but more importantly, on your fabric, especially if it's a lightweight fabric. I can't believe that you were actually taught to do that in ANY supposedly professional sewing school! IF you unpick on the #2 way, use a toothbrush or eraser to remove the little bits of the chain loops ... it's not hard! May i suggest that you watch a few UA-cam videos about how the professionals do these thingd. 😢
