The Kai dressmaking shears will provide you with long-lasting sharpness and have become a top favorite for many quilters – despite the dressmaking name.
Made with a paddle so that you can keep one edge of the fabric away from the blade, these Gingher knife scissors are perfect for applique.
I use them to cut threads, for trimming seams, and sometimes even as a bit of a stiletto to push a wayward seam in the right direction under my presser foot!
I don’t yet have one of these handy cutters for separating chain piecing but it’s on the wish list!
