Where are the seam rippers???

[Drcal]

I wanted to try turning seam rippers tomorrow and tonight I went to Walmart. It seems that most people say they buy them at Walmart and it was the quickest, easiest place for me to go to get some. However, the only seam ripper they had was NOT round. It had a big flat handle and the metal ripper sat in a flat piece at the top. Weird.

Before I pursue a hunt, does anyone have a common source that is not mail order?

Thanks.
Carmen

By me walmart was no good either... Joanns fabric had them. I'd check local fabric stores.

Smitty has them for $0.90/10 for $9.00. I had the link 5 minutes ago but lost it.

What do you folks get for your seem rippers? Are they quick sellers?

 

[alphageek]

They havn't been too quick for me, but I've had them selling ok at $15. I have a larger volume, but typically less "artsy' more craft show this weekend that I'm going to price them at $10 for.
