Where can one purchase the dymondwood? Those are beautiful.. Fay
It's funny - I was just trying to decide whether to give away some is the cheap ones I bought to make inserts. The plastic colors seem cheesy to me.
It seems that you have found a nice way to really class them up.
Any chance you would consider sharing any tips on making these?
Looks like you are removing the blade from the little plastic handle that it comes in. Any tips on getting it out?
Do you drill a hole for the blade to go in or something different?
Just test the cover to fit as you're turning it down? Do the covers stay on okay?
Thanks,
Dan
hmm interesting point.I used to make mine this way. Then they started coming back to me because either A. someone broke the tip off trying to pry something with it, or B. it got dull. Now I make the handle, drill it with a 7mm bit just deep enough to holster the ripper in, and put the ripper, in it's little plastic handle into the turned handle one way for use and pull it out and reverse it, to act as a "holster" for the ripper to protect the tips. If it breaks, or gets dull, they can replace it with a new ripper from any fabric store.
Awesome, now I know what I can do with that MFR box full of Dymondwood! And I like the closed ended 'nubs' for griping.

Want to sell it ?
Hope "coming soon" gives you enough time to make that many!!Where would be a good source for the seam ripper kits. I am looking to purchase 100 to 200 kits. National quilt show coming soon. If you don't mind. Thank you.
God Bless.
