A fine embroidery scissors of 11.5 cm with sharp, pointed tips.
For what purpose: cutting threads right up to the fabric, touching up embroidery, cutting out appliqués, and making notches in curved seams and corners.
The difference compared to regular scissors lies in those points. They taper really sharply, so you cut exactly where you want without catching the layer underneath. Anyone who has ever cut a hole in a lining knows why that matters.
Small enough to leave permanently next to your machine or to take along in your sewing basket.
Length: 11.5 cm (4 1/4 inches)
Color: red handles
