What is a seam ripper used for?
A seam ripper is used to take seams out of materials. Like say for example I wanted to make a quilt out of several different materials, so i would sue a seam ripper to take apart them materials to make the quilt. A seam ripper is used to cut the threads that hold the pieces of fabric together. You use a seam-ripper to remove stitches in a fabric without tearing the fabric, instead of scissors or something else. Generally you use a seam ripper and hook it into the stitch at the seam, in order to be able to go back and re-sew the area without damaging the material. :D
Sharpen a seam ripper?
I have a seam ripper that has a brass handle and is part of a set, so I'd rather not toss it. Dremel sells 2 different sized sharpening stones for chainsaws, and the smaller one makes my seam ripper work like new! I put a touch of oil on before I sharpen and it only takes a couple of sweeps. Just something to keep in your back pocket if you have a seam ripper like mine that you'd rather not dispose of.
