SHEARS ARE NEW IN PACKAGE.
Appliqué scissors
are medium-size scissors with a weird duckbill on one blade. They are specifically designed to trim appliqué fabric after you have stitched it down, and before sewing over the raw edges of the appliqué fabric with a final satin stitch. The unique design of the these scissors
allows you to trim very close to the stitching line without cutting a hole in your base fabric.
If you are doubting me that a lousy pair of scissors will make a difference in the outcome of your project, stop reading this now and go try to trim your appliqué fabric with a regular pair of scissors.
So… you’re back.  It sucked, right?  This is why you need them if you are doing to do appliqué on your embroidery machine. Fortunately they are cheap and readily available.  For a minimal investment in a pair of
appliqué scissors
, your appliqué project will look soooo much more polished. And your trimming will be a lot easier.
HOW TO USE APPLIQUÉ SCISSORS
The proper way to use
appliqué scissors
is to insert the duckbill side of the blade between the fabric you want to cut and the fabric underneath that will remain uncut. This enables you to cut the appliqué fabric close to the placement stitching without inadvertently cutting the fabric underneath.  The duckbill will be underneath the pointed blade with the duckbill between the appliqué fabric and the background fabric and the pointed blade on top of the appliqué fabric.
