I have 2 pair of applique scissors (they call them “Patchwork scissors”) by Kai, and I love them. The N3120 4-1/2” and N3160 6” scissors with the purple handles. They have serrated edges and are fantastic for cutting out applique because they really grab the curves. My friend Peggi introduced me to them, and she has several pair. I’m sure she’ll be chiming in here with her thoughts!
