embroidery scissors
Tiny thread trimmers
Embroidery scissors are small, sharp scissors designed for detailed needlework.
They typically have short, fine-pointed blades that allow precise cutting of thread close to fabric without damaging the material.
Many have curved or bent handles for better access to tight spots.
The classic stork-shaped design—with the blades forming the beak—dates to the nineteenth century and remains popular: She snipped the loose thread with her embroidery scissors.
