I watched her use them in person at Paducah. The scissors are fantastic. I have all her scissor types. I don't do much hand applique but the tools have come in handy and I'm glad I have them. The glue is the best fabric temp glue I have used. In fact all her products are high quality and do a great job. I demoed the tools at my guild and they know I'm not an applique person. My circles and needle turned pieces were perfect using the tools. A few turned up their noses at the price but most saw the value immediately.
