Ran across this the other night at the SoftFlex site. It's a lovely thread cutter necklace-thingey. I figure anyone flying anywhere (especially to the Bead and Button Show this June) might want to check it out. :)Thread Cutter Pendant

I have had one for a long time and they are very useful. Got mine when I was into cross stitch. Shirley

I've seen things like that at Hobby Lobby, in the embroidery/sewing section. They have some really pretty ones, actually.

Those cutters have been around a long time. I've seen them at most sewing shops. Actually -- someone told me the airline prevented them from taking one of those - because it has a razor blade inside..... yeah -- like you really plan to take it apart and attack the flight crew with it...
but the FAA has made a lot of changes again lately...and I don't see it specifically banned on the FAA list... my last two flights I even took scissors.... you CAN carry scissors again - and knitting needles...

s.shtm I have a small pair of stainless steel scissors, with blunt ends, that are mini bandage scissors from my EMT days. The airlines don't bat an eye at them (blades are about 1.5 inches long and the entire scissors are under the 4 inches total) They are very nice for needlework - and unlike the pointy stork type scissors, don't poke through bags - or my pockets if I am carrying them while traveling. Even safer for travel- a pair of kids blunt nose scissors will do and the airlines are very happy to let you take them along. Cheryl
That's really cute! I'd never seen one!
Me neither... doh... seems like we've been living under a rock, eh? LOL
