Which item is used to remove stitches from fabric?
Correct Answer:
Seam ripper
Explanation:
To undo stitching, you need a tool that cuts threads without damaging the surrounding fabric. A seam ripper is designed for this exact job: its slender, pointed tip slips under a stitch to lift it, and its small blade cuts the thread cleanly. This lets you undo seams precisely without creating holes in the fabric. Scissors can cut fabric or threads but aren’t designed to work safely around stitches and can damage the material. A needle is used to sew, not to cut threads, so it doesn’t remove stitches. Pinking shears are for finishing edges with a zigzag cut and aren’t effective for removing stitched seams. So the seam ripper is the best choice for removing stitches.
