Would you use the scissor holder that goes around your neck?

A friend of mine got me a thing that goes around my neck that says "to quilt is human to finish divine" on it. I am SUPER accident prone and thought it wouldn't work for me.
I never stitch anything without it on. I'm allergic to most metals and cannot wear a necklace of any other kind. The only trick was finding some small scissors that would fit in the clasp AND they couldn't open while I was bent over something. I love them and never sew without it.

Washable, made with tulle backing so lightweight enough for summer wear. When made of matching fabric and clear elastic it is well camouflaged!

I don't wear a large pair of scissors around my neck, but 2 years ago my sister gave me a pair of Gingher snips. They are fantastic.
They fit into a little plastic holder and I wear that on a ribbon around my neck when I am machine sewing, quilting or hand quilting. They are great!

If I could figure out how to do it, I'd wear a seam ripper as well!
