There should be an automatic ripper built into sewing machines, so that you don't have to spend large amounts of time ripping seams by hand (which is inevitable during large projects). This would work just like you were sewing, except it would be ripping. You just follow the same line you sewed, and
it either reverses the stitch or tears it out. Would someone please invent this?!

I don't see how this would work, desirable
though it may be. |

I suppose you could do it with a camera mount and AI stitch recognition, but that's a little silly. |

"A little silly"?! This is halfbakery, man! This is PERFECT here! [+] |

Exactly how is ripping anything like
sewing? One is the opposite of the
other, but it is not as if you can just run
the machine backwards and the stitches
come out. |

Ripping is still handwork for a reason.
How would you keep the machine from
ripping other threads in the fabric?
How would the machine know where to
rip? |

you would need a knife action that went from side to side (between the two sewn pieces) as opposed the up and down motion of the needle. totally doable (but slightly scary) I think a seamstress would prefer more control. |
