HUNNY- BUNCH premium pony small seam ripper sewing tool for hand stitching, removing threads, stitch unpicking & opening removing seams and hems etc (pack of 1). One quick way to remove a long seam of stitching is to use the seam ripper to cut every third stitch on one side of a seam. Once that is done, you can simply pull out the thread on the other side of the seam. If a seam is not stitched too tightly, you can cut the thread on one side of the seam and pick out an inch or two of stitches. Grasp this inch or so of thread and gently pull to make gathers in the fabric. Just before the thread feels like it's going to break, cut it at the other end of the gathers. You should now be able to pull this thread right out of the seam. (It depends on the weight of your thread and fabric, and the length of your stitches just how much you can pull out at a time.) Now, you will have a long thread on the other side of the seam and you can repeat the process until the entire seam is removed. To cut open a buttonhole, pierce the fabric at one end of the inside of your buttonhole with your seam ripper. Bring up the point of the ripper at the other end of the inside of your buttonhole and cut. Doing it this way prevents over cutting your buttonhole. If you have a particularly long buttonhole you may want to do this in two steps, working from the edge to the center of the buttonhole. slide the blade under the stitches, being careful to keep the point away from your fabric.
