Review on DMC 61253 Peacock Embroidery Scissor by Amy Mcleod

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not the best for cutting tools

These cute scissors reminded me of a $20+ pair I saw at my local boutique. The boutique had Swiss made scissors that will last a lifetime because they can be sharpened. Sigh. The biggest problem with DMC scissors is that I can't guarantee my thread will be cut if I try to cut close to the tip. The thread needs to be placed in the back half of the scissors if I want to cut safely. I kept trying, wondering if it was my imagination. Sometimes the scissors don't grab the thread well when I'm near the tip and sometimes it doesn't, causing the thread to bend rather than cut.

Pros
  • Craft supplies
Cons
  • Slightly torn
