Does anyone have just a good favorite for applique?
Thanks for all your help in advance! Deb |
I bought both sizes of Karen K. Buckley Scissors. I am working on a large applique project and have thoroughly enjoyed using them. I especially like the small scissors as they cut into small spaces accurately and easily.

Thanks for all your help in advance! Deb The Elan scissors are identical to the Karen Kay Buckley scissor except the handle color is different and they're cheaper. |
I love my small gingher's.. They work great! and I've had them for years, and they have stayed sharp and cut to the end.
Welcome to the board.. I'm in Missouri. |
welcome!

I have a blunt nose 2.5" pair of Fons & Porter that are wonderful for reverse applique. They are super sharp but since there is no point I haven't made a boo boo yet. I found them at Tuesday Morning.

Used to use Ginghers and then found Kai scissors. $15. They are out of Seattle, Washington but they have a website.

Welcome from Washington state.
Depends on what kind of aplique I am doing. I usr all kinds of scissors. Love the duck bill applique scissore and the pinking shiers for raw edge. And just a good sharp scissor for triming parts that are turned with featherweigh interfacing... Ther are so many ways to applique.... ConnieF |
Yes they are applicate scissor. They are off angled with a big collor on them. The will cut right up to the seam line but not thru it. JoAnnes has them but they are pricy.

I do a lot of hand applique and I LOVE the 4" scissors made by KAI. If you do not want to spend the extra for KAI brand, Omni sells a small 4" scissor with yellow handles and low and behold, they are made by KAI. They have a slightly serrated edge which grips the fabric as you snip that little critter. You will love them. Watch for specials on the KAI scissors at the larger quilt shows. They will usually have a special on 3 sizes of the KAI brand for $39.95.
