I was using a big pair of scissors, the usual pair of scissors I used for cutting fabric, it was difficult for cutting small applique... and my hand was painful.. :(
What scissors do you have? Any recommendation of getting good and economy fabric scissors in Malaysia?
I started reading about scissors online and coincidentally, Applemama had bought Fiskars scissors from the US.
I asked my good friend "Google" and found some good reviews about Fiskars softouch scissors:

But, where to buy locally? I heard they are expensive here.. :(
They are a lot cheaper in Joann. Need to get a friend to buy... :)

wow... RM150 for a pair of scissor is quite expensive... and I have never done any research on scissors, many thanks for the info.
For the applique project, I only use a small scissors with sharp point that I bought from bunga reben, it cost me about RM5, if not mistaken. Normally I use it for feltcraft.
hi anic.. so many info when i 1st browse ur blog..
really like the way u share with others...
nice meeting u anic...:)
Hi Mila, I agree.. RM150 terlalu mahal.. Buying from Joann is only USD15. :) Good idea to use sharp point scissors. I have a pair for cutting fringe, I should try that... :)
Hi Pah, nice meeting you.. :) will sure check out your blog... you started 2008... far ahead.. :)
