How to choose a seam ripper
- The guard ball — The small ball on the short tine rides against the fabric so the point cannot dive through it. A ripper without one is a little faster and a lot easier to put a hole in a finished garment with. On a first ripper, keep the ball.
- Handle size — The slim pen-shaped ripper that comes free in a machine's accessory box is fine for one seam and miserable for a whole side seam. A larger rubberised or bulb-shaped handle costs a couple of dollars more and is the thing owners mention most often.
- Whether it comes with a cap — The cover is not packaging. A capped ripper can live in a tin with your scissors without dulling its point on everything else in there, and on some models the cap reverses onto the handle to lengthen it.

The least expensive pick in this category, which makes it the low-risk way to find out whether you'll keep at it; the handles are the ergonomic style, which matters more than it sounds once you are cutting out a whole garment.

Most unpicking is a seam that shifted because nothing held it.
