Do you absolutely "need" a small pair of scissors to use in your embroidery and/or cross stitch work? Probably not. Do you WANT a small pair of scissors? Probably yes!
 
These silver lace embroidery scissors measure about 2.75" (please see photos of the scissors with my hands in the shot and the photo of them next to a ruler for reference) and feature an intricately designed, lace-like pattern on their handles.
 
Embroidery scissors are great for all sorts of crafts - I've had customers purchase these for their work in crochet, knitting, quilting, cross stitch, other fabric crafts, and, of course, embroidery! In embroidery, I use scissors like these to snip off the tails of embroidery floss. Regular scissors will also do the job, but having a pair of embroidery scissors like these can make it just a bit easier (and more fun!).
 
Look familiar? These are the scissors subscribers got in the July 2020 Hopebroidery Box; if you'd rather get these in a full kit, there are a few extra July boxes available here.
