My favorite "scissors" are some thread snips that I won as award in HighSchool for being the most promissing seamstress. That was over 35 years ago. They are a WISS-CLIP. I can't sew without them. Much better than a seam ripper. They have sharp fine points for little threads, but sturdy enough to not be wobbly. Of course I have my favorite "real" scissors too, and rotary cutters, etc. And 4 large folders of favorite patterns.
