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

Have a pic? I'd like to see what it looks like!

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

How does it work?

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

Will keep my eyes open for one in the pound shops. I'm still looking for fancy shoe laces that Sue Dewsbury found in a pound shop. Jan

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. :)

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

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!

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...

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

What a great idea! Thanks for the tip!!

Thanks - a brilliant idea - I will get one.

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,

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.
