Dovo scissors are spendy, but so well engineered and perfectly finished that they are a dream to use.
Right to left:
1. 5-inch scissor, these have the most fabulous swooshing action when you close them. A little too large for most embroidery uses, but they are perfect for trimming fabric when trimming light applique fabrics or finishing those small pieces or ornaments.
2. 4-inch embroidery scissors, pewter finish. Just a wonderful all-around pair for needlework. Fine blades that are perfectly matched and honed.
3. 2 7/8-inch small gold-finish scissors. These are tiny but great for those small spaces (I've used them more than I want to admit ripping out the small stitches on 40-ct Metta, already). They are really well designed and have a great balance so the action is a lot more like standard-size embroidery scissors than most "minis".
Tomorrow: Lift-n-snips
Love the Vierlande motifs, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe scissors look fantastic too, have them on my wishlist :))
