Hi Cuties,Bought a new Nasal hair remover today NO not for my nose,but for removing my errors in embroidery, most of you will have already heard of this but newer Cuties maybe not IT WAS VERY CHEAP £1 PLUS BATTERY you just rub over the back of your work,more affluent Cuties will own a peggys stitch remover..let me know what you think

Another use for this handy item is as a "seam ripper"...just gently "pull" open the two fabric pieces sewed together and then run the teeth of the device on the threads and it will cut the threads and not the fabric. Really makes quick work of ripping a sewing seam...their is a mini hair trimmer by Wahl that does the same thing but it is a bit larter...also works great and covers a bigger surface.

Never used it like that,will try it.Thank you..

I have used one and it worked for me,you know how hard it is to loosen the stitches at first, it rough them up so helps,

Thanks - a brilliant idea - I will get one.

What a great idea! Thanks for the tip!!

What a wonderful idea. I will have to get one. Thank you. Sarah.

THE ONES THAT NANCY SELLS ON TV THAT SHE CALLS PEANUTS ARE ACTUALLY THE SAME PEANUTS CLIPPERS THAT YOU CAN BUY AT ANY BEAUTY SUPPLY...

Can't wait to get one! I bet it will help with the organza edges on the ornaments and paper doll clothes. I think I saw one "As Seen on TV". Excellent tip! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

This cuts the stitches, not neat,helps remove stitches from back of embroidery

Gosh i have it some where in my sewing room must look for it .Thanks for the tip ...Brenz

I read reviews on those things and was surprised at the poor ratings. They are also incredibly expensive here (USA). I may take another look. Thank you for the heads-up with yet another gadget that works in the sewing room. :)

I found fancy shoe laces at Lincraft were very cheap Some black and silver some colours with flowers on and many plain good for loops on Sues zip purses. Hugs joyce

Haven't got a Lincraft, but they sound just what I'm looking for. jan

Thanx for this info. Have you put it to the test? I am going to ask my daughter in UK to get me 2, one for my embroidery and the other for DH who will use it for the reason it was made!! LOL

Don't know if this is what you got, but here are a couple pictures that I came across.

How does it work?

Love to help but useless with downloading photo's.

Did you get it from a £ shop or Argos? Have seen them cheaply in Argos. Have fun with your new purchase
