100009 Allary Ultra Fine Stork 3-1/2 Inch Needlework Scissors

Perfect for crocheting

I practice embroidery at a living history museum, and I needed small scissors that would look thoroughly unmodern. At the same time, I'm a huge fan of Over the Garden Wall. These scissors are absolutely perfect, a nod to my favorite show and subtle, so as to not ruin the museum's illusion. I'm surprised how sturdy they are, and sharp too. I can easily cut thread with a single blade, if need be. One part of the beak comes to a very fine point: always helpful in cutting away bad small stitches. I've been using them daily for about a month now and have found no problems whatsoever. There are probably better quality scissors out there for embroidery, but I can't imagine why you would need better than these. I get so many compliments on them, and they do their job very well. Worth every penny.

These are adorable and awesome and I love that they are small. However they are not very sharp. But I use them for yarn and it works well enough. It might do paper fine, but cloth is a no go, at least if you want or need a precise cut.

These scissors are great for using for embroidery, needlepoint etc. I found them sharp, easy to use, and easy to open and close. I have had many pairs like this before, and that is why I ordered these. I try to keep extra pairs around for new kits that I am working on. For the reviewer that got a bad pair, my guess is that particular pair were defective, I would have certainly returned them to Amazon. I found my little pair just perfect to work with and am very happy with the purchase.

Mine had scratches

I found these scissors while looking for items from a tv series called Over the Garden Wall. My daughter and Niece both loved the series. One of the episodes features these scissors and as soon as I saw the I knew they were going to be great Christmas gifts and the were.

These scissors are convenient for snipping threads or yarn with doing cross stitch or needlepoint. The slender, pointed blades are very good for picking out stitches and making corrections. The blades are not particularly sharp, but at this price, they will serve that purpose. Also, since I take my handwork along with me when I travel, the low cost of this pair means I don't have to feel too bad if I misplace it along the road...... I do have an excellent, German made pair of stork scissors that I use only at home. So, think about how you use them, and decide what would work best for you.

these scissors are a bit sticky, and by that i mean they don't open and close smoothly–yet. i used them new and out of the package. i'm sure that in time, they will lose that sticky feeling.i terms of the cutting of thread, wow! i didn't have to close the scissors completely. i simply lifted them up slightly, and pow, the bottom blade simple cut through the floss. and i really like the fine point blades–they allowed me to get into very tight spaces to cut the floss.i am VERY content with the performance of these scissors :)
