    I'm thinking of buying a pair of duckbill scissors at the Quilt and Craft Show down in Brisbane tomorrow. Have any of you used them, and are they worth buying, or am I better to buy a pair of curved scissors for my applique?

    Buy a pair. I love mine and use it for more than applique. Mine makes the nicest smooth cutting edge.

    I use both. The duck bill helps with the larger areas while the smaller curved scissors can get in the teeniest of areas.
