There is a seam ripper and thread remover/puller that you can buy. It is essentially a seam ripper, that I am sure you already have, with an eraser!
So, why not just use an eraser, that you probably already have. I use Staedtler Mars 52650 Plastic Eraser.
I don't know what the material is on the purchased thread remover but, I know that my eraser works pretty well. I also cut the eraser down a bit and put the smaller bits under the back feet of my sewing machine to tilt it toward me. This makes it easier to see when I am sewing.

FREE Pinochle Tournament Score Sheet
I created a Pinochle tournament scoresheet for my Mom's club. You can pay what you like to download.
You will need at least Microsoft Excel 2007 and you have to enable macros.
You can have many names because you can create ANY SIZE, you can do mixed doubles, show the winners, and some other stuff.

Coats & Clark Color Conversion Guide
Coats & Clark Thread Conversion Chart Sorted by NEW Number
Use CTRL+F (Windows) or Command+F
(Apple) to find what the old or new number, or the Coats & Clark name.
The purpose of this
is to take advantage of the (not really)
new
numbering system that changed around 2008/9, maybe earlier. Now that the numbers are
based on color families, you can find the thread number you want and then find
related shades and tints.
The new system is
sequential and logical. Here’s the breakdown for the color families:
0001 to 999 White / Black / Grays (Neutrals)
1000 to 1999 Pinks
2000 to 2999 Reds
3000 to 3999 Purples
4000 to 4999 Blues
5000 to 5999 Aqua / Jades
6000 to 6999 Greens
7000 to 7999 Yellows / Golds / Oranges
8000 to 8999 Browns (Including Natural, Cream and beige)
9000 to 9999 Special Effects (Multi-colors, Twists, Metallic, Fluorescents, Tints, etc.)
0001 to 999 White / Black / Grays (Neutrals)
1000 to 1999 Pinks
2000 to 2999 Reds
3000 to 3999 Purples
4000 to 4999 Blues
5000 to 5999 Aqua / Jades
6000 to 6999 Greens
7000 to 7999 Yellows / Golds / Oranges
8000 to 8999 Browns (Including Natural, Cream and beige)
9000 to 9999 Special Effects (Multi-colors, Twists, Metallic, Fluorescents, Tints, etc.)
I did this because
I had a spool that had no stickers (in the middle), but it was close in color to a spool that
did have an old sticker/number (the one on the right). So I looked up the old number to find the
new number and the colors around it.
By the way...I now
use an ultra fine Sharpie to write the numbers on my thread when I get them.
