SCISSORS!
What is your favorite brand of scissors? If it is not Kai, it should be! I have several of these scissors and they are my "go to" scissors for whatever application I need. The bent curved scissors are wonderful for use with machine applique and I love using the small scissors/snips for clipping threads.Some are serrated which makes cutting through fabric a breeze! We carry both the regular and professional 7000 series quality of Kai scissors and shears. If you don't own a pair of the Kai 7250 Dressmaker Shears, you need to! We have a great selection of Kai scissors and you won't regret switching out your other brands and for these amazing scissors! If we don't have the ones you want, we can order them for you!
