Tamara, one edge of the scissor blade is curved to aid in slipping the scissor blade under the stitch before cutting it out. Those scissors are excellent for cutting threads very closely and for removing couching stitches in needle lace. Mind you, they don't stay sharp as long as true surgical or needlework scissors, but hey - they're free! Didn't he give you the clips as well? They come together in a disposable packet.

They'll reposition it also, if you haven't actually misplaced it, but just want to clear a tiny spot to make sure that your stitches are OK. Yours, still trying to figure out (8 weeks later) some lacy use for scissors with a semi-circle taken out of one blade... The doctor did some snipping with them and then said "here, want them? They'll only throw them away". So I took them, but still don't know what the advantage is (or might be) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
