Blonnie: Carla and I decided to do a comparison test on the above two seam rippers.
Why you ask? Well, I was using the Clover Seam Ripper which is a very good one, nice and sharp,
easy to hold, but alas the tip broke and I started using these small generic rippers which I hated.
To make the story short, I really goofed quilting a small quilt and had lots, I mean lots of ripping out to do. The short rippers were not cutting it. My hand would hurt after a while and I kept losing them. So out I went to buy a new Clover. I happened to come across the Dritz Large Ergonomic Ripper and thought to myself, I liked the looks of this one, and thought it would be easy on my hands. I bought it and I am so happy I did. I love it. It molds right into my hand, it rips easily, it is pretty, is not slippery like the Clover, and I have not lost it yet. So, in my opinion, I go with the Dritz, although the Clover is a good one, I just like the Dritz better.

Carla: I love a good seam ripper. With the amount of time I spend removing stitches, this
is an important tool that I rely on to help me correct my mistakes and get back to sewing. It
doesn't need to be pricey, but it does need to be super sharp and fit my hand well. I had never
used these particular seam rippers before trying them out for this month's review. I feel that they are both
nice and sharp and well-priced. However, I found that I do prefer the Clover white handled model due to the way
that it fits in my hand. The Dritz model, although designed to be ergonomic, didn't feel as comfortable to
me. It may be the way that I hold a seam ripper, but given a choice, the Clover one is a better seam ripper for
me. We'll have both of them at the guild meeting as well as other types from our sewing boxes for you to compare.
