DMC 61253 Peacock Embroidery Scissor Review

These are the best scissors you can get for crafting. I do a lot of different crafts and I have found these scissors work the best be it cross stitch, postcard making, making items for church projects (Easter, VBS). They are just the right size and can get into small areas that other scissors just can't get through. I have several pairs for different projects.

received very quickly after purchase. These little scissors are a pretty good weight for their size. My blades are consistently sharp, not just the broad end or the nose. In the video posted, I easily cut through a paper/cardboard packet and a piece of cotton material, although I didn't have a free hand to hold what I was cutting. I also used them to cut my hair a few days ago and they worked just as well as my barber scissors.

I am sending these back. I just paid over $15 for a pair of Ginghers to replace and they are a dream come true! (Verified…

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…

I am really impressed. I never wanted to spend money on embroidery scissors in various sewing and needlework shops because they were very expensive and seemed unnecessary. They are great for all those thin layers of embroidery thread and make for a much cleaner and quicker cut than any thin tailor's scissors. Also, working on craft projects somehow becomes a lot clearer. Threading an embroidery needle with a tiny hole after trimming the floss was a lot easier. It was a great price and I trust…
