Why Use an Electric Seam Ripper?
Fast & Efficient Stitch Removal
Quickly remove unwanted stitches, seams, embroidery threads, quilting lines, and construction errors without the repetitive hand motion of a traditional seam ripper.

Digital Battery Percentage Display
Know exactly how much power you have remaining with the built-in battery percentage indicator. No more guessing when it's time to recharge.

Recharge quickly and conveniently using the included USB-C charging cable. No disposable batteries required.

How to Use Rip-A-Stitch™
-
Charge it. Use the included USB-C cable. The display shows the battery percentage.
-
Lay the fabric flat. Work on a flat, stable surface and hold the fabric steady.
-
Guide it lightly. Move the cutting head gently along the stitches you want to remove. Use light pressure and let the powered blade cut the thread instead of pressing into the fabric.
-
Clear the threads. Brush away loose threads as you go, and pick out the last fragments with tweezers or curved-tip thread snips.
Removing embroidery? Work from the back of the design where you can, then lift the top threads away from the front.
Start slowly and test on a scrap or hidden area first, especially on delicate or loosely woven fabric.
