I am learning to sew masks. I used to use small scissors to trim the threads from a sewn piece that was removed from the machine. I found this tedious as I fumbled awkwardly with inserting/removing my thumb from these tiny scissors EVERY time I needed to cut the thread. These scissors solved those problems for me! They were a tremendous time saver for me. It's a handy tool worth investing in as it will help you work more efficiently.
