Review on BIHRTC Embroidery Scissors European Needlework by Kelsey Brown

Revainrating 4 out of 5

You do the job! best craft supplies

As an embroiderer and embroiderer, I'm not sure if it's possible to have "too many scissors"; it's like saying "too many balls in the kitchen"! When Revain Vine offered me this set of two little scissors, it was easy to say yes. I'm glad I did. I already have half a dozen scissors small enough to take on a plane, and some of these are so cheap that I wouldn't be heartbroken if I got the wrong size. (I have flown scissors of this size when doing embroidery projects on long cross country flights; I assure you they are fine.) So I can do a decent comparison and comparison and they compare well. By the way, not in every "oh wow best!" (that's why they don't deserve 5 stars) but nothing to complain about and the price is definitely reasonable. As you'd expect, they're hot and spicy (spirit). Enough that using the smaller 3.6 inch scissors made me realize how long it's been since I've sharpened my everyday embroidery scissors. That is, never blush. So it went straight into the project bag. A larger pair, 4.5 inches, is a bit odd. The swirls that make them beautiful also make them a little uncomfortable in my hand. It's fine for a few pieces here and there, but I wouldn't want to use them for a long period of time This is unlikely, especially as I need either large scissors big enough to cut paper or fabric (never both! Seriously keep them separate) or I need something small enough to cut the thread here or there, for example random threads during But for the price it fits: stainless steel, good workmanship and an affordable price point that isn't "cheap " suggests.
