What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This seam ripper comes with a 5x magnifier on an arm, so you can see tiny stitches and threads that blend into the fabric while you work. The arm slides into a collar on the base and can be adjusted to the angle you like. It comes off for storage when you're not using it. Beyond removing stitches, it can open buttonholes, take out basting or tailor's tacks, remove buttons, snaps and itchy tags, and cut open shrink-wrap on packages.
