I used "6 1/2" Rag Quilting Snips VP7" and the brand that I have is Heritage Cutlery. I had forgotten that I owned them (had put them away for that future date that I might make a raggedy edge quilt) and found them about halfway through all the cutting for the fraying. I was going through one of my sewing drawers looking for any kind of scissor that might work. My hands were so sore from cutting and I had some blisters! I was using spring loaded scissors at the time. Once I found these wonderful scissors, I whizzed through the rest of the quilt effortlessly! They are simply amazing!
