Hey, you're stealing my sister's best friend! She doesn't quilt, but sews clothes. Of course she floors the pedal and it often times calls for the dear old friend. :)
Stitching and ripping, as my dear Nana used to say. You only have one? I have several - I would be in a complete panic if ever the day came that I couldn't find it. Although - if I MUST rip a bias edge, I sometimes will cut a new piece. Also - remember that they do get dull after consistant use (ask me how I know), so it is good to replace them periodically. A nice sharp ripper makes this dreaded chore go a bit easier.
