Those are some by Fiskars that I like for this purpose. Yes, the tips are fairly rounded. I saw some at Wally's the other day, I think for $11 bucks. I paid more for mine but love them.
Brilliant tute! Definitely going to try this! There are scissors called 'duck bills' that would be ideal for this - I was going to get some for a raw edge applique technique I do where you sew an overlap of fabric then trim the top layer back to the stitching line and then couch yarn over this to hide it. Anyway (waffle, waffle :mrgreen: ) those same scissors would be great for this too! Duck bill applique scissors. :D
