Smile Duckbill applique scissors

[QUOTE=amma;430995]I use manicure scissors for those little, precise cuts! I think the applique scissors I have seen are also called "duck billed" and they are used for cutting away fabric when you are doing "cut away" applique. You sew multiple layers of fabric and cut away different layers to get at the specific fabrics in certain areas. They keep you from cutting into the layers below the one you are trying to cut. clear as mud, huh??? Not sure which kind you are talking about for sure.[/QUOTE

I could sure use a size smaller than 6" duckbill. Does anyone know of any smaller, like maybe 4" with a smaller duckbill? I am doing some applique on T-shirts and need to get closer to the stitching to trim away than the 6" will let me.
