Mundial 585-CS Specialty Forged 6" Applique Scissors, Pelican Bill/Offset Blades Review

I purchased these scissors for a project I was doing with a reverse applique. They worked great and cut through the knit fabric with no problem at all and they weren't too heavy in my hand, which was a big plus. They were very comfortable to use once I got the hang of the odd shape. I would recommend these scissors if you do reverse appliques, for sure.

My sweetie says these Brazilian-made Mundial Serra Sharps are the best sewing scissors of their type she has had in years. I can see why she likes them. The perfect design, old-fashioned forged and precision-ground construction reminds me of the way such stuff was done by the best American makers many decades ago. They're much better than the Chinese-made Cushion Pro line Mundial sells.

Michley Lil' Sew & Sew LSS-202 Combo Mini Sewing Machine, Electrical Scissors and 42-Piece Sewing Kit Review

Michley Lil' Sew & Sew LSS-202 Combo Mini Sewing Machine, Electrical Scissors and 42-Piece Sewing Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have never used a sewing machine before, but i liked the idea that I can do alterations on my jeans and pants, do some patchwork on my old clothes, and do various jobs here and there.

So I bought this. I was debating between this package and the machine only unit, and decided to go for the package because it has the same sewing machine, plus sewing kit that is supposed to have everything that fits to this small machine, and a pair of electrical scissors!

I did calculations and the package would work much better if the scissors are worth buying. I gave it a try.

1. Sewing machine.
As a person who has never used a sewing machine, the machine looked little bit complicated (mind you that I am a software Engineer, and not afraid of using a machine for the first time) with lots of holes for threads. But the guide coming with the machine explains pretty much everything to get started with. I could get around with the guide. The problem was, though, the guide is in crude black and white print and it is hard to recognize the tiny holes in the pictures. And there's one picture while there are more than three ways to get the thread hooked up.
If each way has an accompanying picture in colors, it would have been very helpful.

It also comes with a small packet that contains a few thread rolls and needles.

2. Sewing kit
I haven't opened it yet, but the kit seems to contain the essential elements.

3. Electrical Scissors
So, here's my problem. I expected a lot about these scissors, because I thought the electrical scissors are a bit luxurious item. But they didn't work when I put two AA batteries into the slot. I tried a few different brands of batteries but they didn't work. It made the motor sound in the very beginning at first but that was it. There is no guideline so I don't even know how it is supposed to work. I am thinking about getting them replaced by calling the sewing machine company.

I will update this review once I figure these scissors out.

But I love this little sewing machine; and thinking I would have fun and save money as well!

I bought these scissors over 15 years ago at a craft store and remember being annoyed at paying $20 for them!They have paid for themselves over and over again though the years.I am only replacing them now as they have become dull and sticky after years of rough wear and tear.The handle is very confortable.I have had good experiences with Mundial knives and scissors.

I originally bought the smallest pair at a craft store for cross stitching. My husband "borrowed" them to trim his moustache. That was the last I saw of them. When I saw the set, I jumped on it right away. They are excellent for the cost.

Knife Edge Thread Nippers Review

Knife Edge Thread Nippers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
One of the things I learned from years of loving kitchen gadgets is that the right tool, especially if it was high quality, can make all the difference. It can make the mundane tasks fun. Sewing has become much easier since I invested in good cutting implements.Of the seven Gingher products I currently own, these are my absolute favorite.

I debated the price for a while, but I eventually gave in. I hate I waited so long! These are nice and heavy. They are well balanced and easy to use. I've trimmed thread and denim with these.They worked great on both! They are worth the investment.

The middle finger goes through the loop to stabilize the nippers while the thumb and index finger push the blades together for cutting. The double-plated chrome finish over nickel is both durable and handsome. Measure 4-1/2".

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As expected, they are of the same high quality as the scissors in function. In form, I do wish they had designed a finger loop like some of the other thread snippers. The loop makes it easier to do high volume snipping because you wouldn't have to put it down to manipulate fabric. Still, these definitely last longer than the other looped ones we've tried.
