When I was in Puyallup at the Sewing Expo in February earlier this year I found an AMAZING sewing tool, the Quick Ripper, which is a battery powered seam ripper.
After 40+ years of sewing I still use a seam ripper constantly. In addition to fixing mistakes, sometimes I'm just disassembling garments for upcycling. This battery powered seam ripper looks like a hair trimmer.
It works reliably and rips through seams very fast. I've saved hours of hand ripping this year. I did need to learn how to hold it so the fabric doesn't get ripped. Wouldn't recommend it for delicate fabrics but it is a dream for most others.
I keep mine next to my sewing machine. It rests in a pink glass bunny just like this:
Don't you just adore a new and useful sewing tool?
Happy upcycling,
Michelle
P. S. I'm not getting anything out of recommending it.

I saw one of those on Amazon and thought it looked cool. Then I realized it looked just like the paw trimmer (for dogs) that I had picked up at a yard sale for a buck. And an awful lot like my husband's beard trimmer. Indeed it works great and I too have saved hours on ripping. Highly recommended tool.
