I waited years to buy a good pair of embroidery scissors. Why was the others I had were very good scissors just not embroidery. Now I wonder why I waited. They cut the fabric perfectly. They cut the floss in a snap. They are wonderful for tearing stitches apart when I made a mistake. The small points let me make decorative holes easily as in hardanger. The tiny tips are sharp and pefect for making a hole larger if I need it. They take the place of a number of tools. Now that being said, not all scissors are created equal. My DMC ones have been relegated to cutting metallics and other threads I don't want to use my good ones on because I found them too dull from the day of purchase. In fact I wondered why I had bothered buying them. Then I invested in a more expensive decorative pair that I bought mainly because I thought they were pretty. Oh the difference. The expensive ran about $25 American but they are worth every penny and show no signs of dulling. As to the DMC that I bought for $8 American, I may have simply got a bad pair. That does happen. Invest in good scissors. It will save a LOT of heart burn.

Another tip.

I waited years to buy a good pair of embroidery scissors.Why was the others I had were very good scissors just not embroidery.Now I wonder why I waited.They cut the fabric perfectly. They cut the floss in a snap.   They are wonderful for tearing stitches apart when I made a mistake.The small points let me make decorative holes easily as in hardanger.The tiny tips are sharp and pefect for making a hole larger if I need it.They take the place of a number of tools.

Now that being said, not all scissors are created equal.My DMC ones have been relegated to cutting metallics and other threads I don't want to use my good ones on because I found them too dull from the day of purchase.In fact I wondered why I had bothered buying them.Then I invested in a more expensive decorative pair that I bought mainly because I thought they were pretty.Oh the difference.The expensive ran about $25 American but they are worth every penny and show no signs of dulling.   As to the DMC that I bought for $8 American,I may have simply got a bad pair.That does happen.

Invest in good scissors.It will save a LOT ofheart burn.
