I use these every day and have for many years. 

I'm really fussy about my tools -  here's what make makes these a winner -

• They feel wonderful in your hand
• They are easy to grab and pick up
• They're sharp, as sharp can be right down to the tip.
• The're long enough to cut out and clip applique pieces and short enough to just cut threads.
• Serrated edge - 5 1/2" long

These scissors are engineered for smooth precise cutting with fine teeth serration for gripping fabrics. An excellent choice for doing embroidery, patchwork, applique, sewing, quilting and needlepunch. Includes a molded plastic blade cover.
