    Thanks! I found them awkward to use for some reason but I will try them again for cutting applique pieces. A friend uses them for machine embroidery applique and can cut in really close.

    Love my duck bill scissors for machine applique when doing the machine embroidery. You can get really close to the stitch line.

    I have a pair of Gingher ones. I tried to use them a couple of times but gave up. I will have to get them out and try again since I started to do some machine embroidery.

    I have the same ones the that Onebyone has but I never use them. It's probably because I don't applique much Maybe if I ever have a grandchild I'll try them out. I used to when my kids were little.
