Default Scissors and the TSA

I'm soon to travel by air and am looking at the TSA website which tells me that sewing scissors less than 4" are allowed in your carry-on. Further, it says 4" from the pivot point which is surprising as 4" from the pivot point could be a very large pair of scissors. I'm wishing to take my beloved Kai 4" curved embroidery scissors to do some hand sewing on my cross country flight. I'm hoping there might be more experienced travelers here that can weigh in on whether I should just stow them or feel confident to carry on?

And I guess, regardless of the rules they have the authority to say no for any reason. So, now I think I'm asking what good alternatives are there (that I can get within the next 36 hours?)

Thank you in advance for the input -
Christine
