What type and brand of scissors do you recommend for cleaning up the edges of raw edge applique? I am just beginning to do this raw edge appliqueing and I guess the 'perfectionist' (
) in me is not too happy with the frayed threads on the outside of the applique. I would like to get as close as possible and nip those threads down.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out!!!

I don't know what mine are called, but my LQS gave them to me when I bought my embroidery machine. They're tweezer type with a small very sharp curved blade at the end. They are fantastic! You can lay the edge of one blade under and up against the edge of the applique and when you have it - snip. I usually fold my applique against the edge a bit to help. But yes ... be careful!!
I'll try to take a picture of them tonight when I get home from work.
