Lucky you Susan. What nice prize, stork scissors with pretty handles and a beautiful carrying case.  I have many pairs of stork scissors but the only specialized pair of scissors for lace are the Carrickmacross ones that have the blunt end on one side for cutting close to the net and organza. Janice <These tiny beauties are beyond exquisite & they cut like a dream. Did I mention that I am over the moon?! I posted a photo to Flickr & I am most eager to use them for Rosaline, Honiton & needle lace. Very pointy & exceedingly sharp, they will be handy in tight spaces where accuracy is key. Hardanger comes to mind, but it's not my thing. I've already tried them on a small, beaded needlepoint project & I am in love! Which brings me to the question of the day. What kind of scissors are being used for lace? I confess to owning many scissors, some quite nice--but I have never had scissors like this. Nor would I have suspected that there would be such a dramatic difference in quality! Yikes, did I miss the scissor tutorial? What are the experts using & why? Looking forward to candid opinions & advice because I am still in shock. Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA  >  p.s. Jeri, I did not correct Anny's name as I forwarded the email from Greet exactly as she wrote it.  Maybe being one of her close lace friends, it is Belgium spelling of her name.
