Tip of the Morning Tuesday~Applique Scissors
You don't have to applique to use applique scissors. Since I like to make bags, I use applique scissors to trim the batting or fusible fleece close the the stitching. The large flange of the scissors help to keep the fabric below it out of the way so you don't cut into your fabric. It makes cutting the fleece so much easier.

I don't think I even KNEW there are special scissors for applique. Thanks for posting. I can see how useful they are.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any of these scissors, but they've been on my "to buy" list for years. There just always seems to be something else that is needed and they get pushed to the bottom of the list. One day......
ReplyDeleteA pair of those is what I told my daughter I wanted Santa to bring me. I'm hoping they will help trim fused applique .
ReplyDeleteI love my applique scissors! I do use them mostly for applique esp machine embroidery!
ReplyDeleteMine were given to me from my cousin for Christmas prob 20+ years ago. They are Ginghers and should last forever!
Thanks for the great tip. I have the applique scissors, I have used it mostly when I did machine embroidery.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I've never seen those scissors where I am but now I've seen how useful they can be I'll be looking out for some.
