It has been years since I have cut a Hawaiian applique, but I remember using a large pair of sissors, probably Fiskars. My quilt was throw size. I understand Dovo is the premier sissor, but they are costly. I've never used them. Happy quilting. Hawaiian quilts are beautiful.

Works wonderfully and I don't have to deal with the freezer paper curling up the edges. Enjoy!
