    Default Does anyone know where I can purchase these snips?

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]491112[/ATTACH]I have searched everywhere online. They have a little pic. of an anchor on them, but no words saying what brand they are. 4" long, about 1 inch wide.They are the greatest! If I ever find them, I will buy several. I use them constantly to snip off the threads from my quilting.

    Since they have the anchor on them, I would google marine stores. Probably some specialty marine thing that costs a fortune. BUT if you could find it in an online marine catalog you would then know the proper search term to look at other vendors.

    I have a pair I bought that are made by Gingher. I love them, and keep them at my machine. Bought them at Joann's, and used a coupon.

    I have something similar but I can't find it online to show you. The spring loaded function is great!

    Thank you all so very much!! I went to all the links that you ladies gave me, and I did find them! I am so happy, happy! EBay is more expensive than Nancy's, so I'll nix that. I had searched Ebay about a month ago and never found them. You ladies are the greatest!

    when I googled gold thread snips with anchor and went to images it came up with quiltropolis but when I go there it does not show them. If you google that and go to images maybe there is a better website depending on your search engine. I hope you find them and I will keep looking.

    I just ordered from Nancy's web site. I bought my daughter one too, as she is just learning to make quilts. It was worth all the trouble I had getting that picture posted -- it was too large, and I didn't know how to make it smaller, so I emailed the picture to myself from my photo album, and in my email I clicked on "smaller" then dragged it to my desktop, and posted it. That re-sized it, much to my surprise. I figured if anyone could help me, it would be at this forum. Thanks again.
