Thread nippers?
I have some thread nippers (I guess that's what they're called... it's what I call them... LOL!) that are as dull as watching paint dry. They are just cheapies that I got years ago... I think they were a give-away at the LQS or else were just super cheap. They aren't a name brand or anything. But I really like using them to cut my thread. Who out there also uses nippers & what kind do you have? I really need to buy some new, decent ones. Any help would be much-o appreciated!

I previously had some cheap nippers from Walmart. What a pain. You couldn't nip with the tip, and you had to hold them just so to get it to cut thread consistently. I wanted to throw them across the room since they were darn near worthless to me.. Bring on the Gingher.

I love the Gingher brand nippers the absolute best - but they don't leave my chair-side table.
For traveling or when I've got a project in the doctor's office or whatever, I have cheapies that work really well. Three pairs for $8: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-THREAD-NIP...item589237cc81

I bought mine at Nancy's Notions. Worth every penny.
