Gingher 6" Applique Knife-edge Scissors
Using the duckbill scissors you can cut fabric very close to stitches and that’s why they are widely used in applique.
The duckbill shaped blade pushes away the bottom layer of fabric for flawless control, enabling you to cut really close the stitching. It prevents you from cutting the stitches or the good part of the fabric. At the same time the angled handle allows you to hold the scissors well while the blade is really flat on the material.
You can use these scissors in 2 ways;
a) The wide blade slides under a layer of fabric to push it down and away, allowing for a clean and close cut by the sharp cutting blade on top. You would cut around your project in a anti-clockwise direction.
b) The duckbill blade is held directly against your appliqué, protecting it and you cut around your appliqué in a clockwise manner so that the duckbill blade glides over your appliqué and your project and hard work are protected.
