I keep a pair of them with each project that I have "to go", ready to use in the Dr. waiting room, etc. Never have to check to see if all supplies are in project bag. At a dollar a shot, it's worth it to me to keep scissors with each project.

Thanks for the suggestion about using the blunt scissors for cutting underneath the quilt. Never thought of that!

I'll have to find all those kiddy scissors that my children outgrew. It sounds perfect for sewing threads!!

That is GOOD to know!! I try to limit my thread breaks, but started tying off and hiding my threads and I've had lots of unravveling when I do the little stitches. I never tried to get the bobbin back up whuile on the machine, I user the needle to "thread" it to the top... I'll have to play with that tonight. Thanks for the tip.

I have a couple of those shears! Have had them for years, usually for paper cutting but can also use for thread snipping and applique.
