I would still be using the one I bought when we lived in France over 20 years ago except the ball bearing fell out and I could never get it lock in place after that.<br /><br />I have another friend who is considered The Seam Ripper Queen. At retreat it was said that manufacturers send her any new designs for testing. Tee hee.<br /><br />When I was growing up we called the seam ripper a Quick Unpick. Every so often I forget to use "seam ripper" and people look at me oddly, "What?". <br /><br />HelenChurn Dashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060909536864106475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-55827404424601960232012-01-19T21:03:42.443-06:002012-01-19T21:03:42.443-06:00I use both skewers and stilettos, boy, do they mak...I use both skewers and stilettos, boy, do they make it easier to piece, especially curved pieces.lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-19203043015734835942012-01-19T18:46:47.723-06:002012-01-19T18:46:47.723-06:00Yes, I use bamboo sticks sharpened WELL for stille...Yes, I use bamboo sticks sharpened WELL for stilletos because they "grab" better than metal and I lose them (and seam rippers) by the hundreds, so I need something cheap. I like your set-up. Did you see Bonnie's table for her featherweight? Wouldn't one for <br />Alba be cute?<br />Can we see your pencils, please? I can't get satisfied with pencils I've tried.<br /><br />Lucy~qltmom9https://www.blogger.com/profile/00891119764581754368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-32797365227174835122012-01-19T18:08:07.436-06:002012-01-19T18:08:07.436-06:00Oh sure.....thanks, Lane.....now I have Leslie Ann...Oh sure.....thanks, Lane.....now I have Leslie Ann Warren in my head singing away! lol<br /><br />Great idea for the toothbrush holder.....and especially the beans!reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822110311373036914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-66054223946625998282012-01-19T13:29:56.392-06:002012-01-19T13:29:56.392-06:00You are the doodle, Lane!

Thank you for sharing it. I never thought of that, and I threw mine out, because I am never going to use it for toothbrushes. How closed minded of me, lol. <br /><br />Have a great day.Bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579134403721260565noreply@blogger.com
