Re: scissors...

All I know about those applique scissors is that they are strictly a right-handed item!

I have them and I love them. Mine are bent to get over the hoop when it's in use on my embroidery machine. I am right handed and I have not tried to use them left handed, but will next time and see if it makes a difference.

Speaking as another left-handed Sandy, I noticed that right away, too! ;)

I have two pair of Gingher scissors that are intended for reaching over a hoop rim to cut close to the stitching. One has a sort of duck bill blade on the bottom, one pair has sharp points on both blades. I use the duck billed ones for trimming the Yorkie. The sharp pointed ones are good for opening a button hole. Didn't like either pair for machine sewing inside a hoop. I always go back to my tiny, curved-bladed extremely sharp embroidery scissors for that. Probably only because that's just what works best for me. Polly
