If you have an embroidery machine they are great for cutting away excess stabilizer, too.

Ahh well, I don't have an embroidery machine and I do very minimal applique as hand sewing is very difficult for me. But hey, I have cool conversation starting scissors!! :D

Now, you've got to take up applique since you're qwell equipped. :D

Gingher scissors can be sent to Gingher in NC to be professionally sharpened in their factory for less than $10....absolutely worth it for having *the right people* handle your precious cutting tools. http://www.gingher.com/pages/repair-and-maintenance/4/

I've used them for years! Quick turn around.
