The new, compact version of the traditional "duck bill" scissor is perfect for trimming applique work, lace insertion, and much more! The new smaller size lends itself to accurate trimming of in-the-hoop applique, embroidery, seams, and embellishments. The smooth cutting action and unique shaped blade means precision cutting exactly where you want it. This is a must-have for every type of sewer, quilter, and embroiderer.
