I bought two sizes of the Karen Kay Buckley scissors and while I find the serrated edge on the smaller (use for embroidery) are great at grabbing the floss I find I don't like that same characteristic in the larger scissors. Makes it a little harder to cut fabric in a straight line because they want to grab the fabric. I think I'm going to replace the large scissors with a pair of Gingher. I have the Gingher thread nippers and absolutely love them. If they aren't right by my machine I go into panic mode. LOL!!
