Thread: applique scissors worth it?

If you feel comfortable spending $28 for applique scissors. then do it. It is alot of money, maybe shop on Ebay or the internet for a better price. It is my experience that when I "get something I like for the best price", it helps me justify the expense.

I bought one pair for 22 and then another small pair with sharp points that curve up slightly. They make trimming applique and embroidery so much easier because I can get closer which is really important; to get close without cutting stitches. To be honest I use them more in embroiderying or doing a combination of both on the machine. When I was doing hand applique I just used small sharp scissors. I can't see spending a fortune. I don't know how much I spent for my small ones but I know it was under 10.
