I do a lot of hand applique and I LOVE the 4" scissors made by KAI. If you do not want to spend the extra for KAI brand, Omni sells a small 4" scissor with yellow handles and low and behold, they are made by KAI. They have a slightly serrated edge which grips the fabric as you snip that little critter. You will love them. Watch for specials on the KAI scissors at the larger quilt shows. They will usually have a special on 3 sizes of the KAI brand for $39.95.
