6" Applique Scissors

The curved blade lets me snip right up against the appliqué without clipping the fabric underneath, which is exactly why I bought them. They're sharp enough for fine embroidery threads but sturdy enough for quilting. The rose gold is a nice bonus.

The rose gold finish is what caught my eye, but the curved tip is what sold me — it glides right up against the fabric without nicking the appliqué. Been using them for serging too and they stay sharp.

The curved blade on these makes trimming close to the stitching so much easier, and they glide through batik without snagging. The rose gold finish is a nice touch too, though I mostly care that they stay sharp.
