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

Mundial 585-CS Specialty Forged 6 Applique Scissors, Pelican Bill/Offset Blades
Average Reviews:

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.

Perfect addition to your needlework or any other delicate work projects. The end is very pointed which makes it easy to get into tight spots. Also great for clipping those annoying shirt labels or tags on stuffed animals.

I can't say enough good things about Gingher scissors. They cut through light and medium weight cloths like a hot knife going through butter. They operate smoothly and are well balanced. Further, with the dearth of scissor-sharpening options available these days, it is nice to know that Gingher will sharpen their scissors when that operation is necessary. I'm replacing all my scissors with Ginghers!

Gingher G-6DC Double Curved Scissors, 6-Inch Review

Gingher G-6DC Double Curved Scissors, 6-Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned several pair of Gingher sewing scissors. They have always been a bit fragile - drop them and they may never work right again, like the 5" craft scissors I had to replace a few years ago. Of course, that can be said for any scissor, probably.I haven't dropped these (yet!) but just the look of them is disappointing. Oh, they're functional, but they are little, if any, better than the el cheapo pair of double curve embroidery scissors I already have. The Ginghers I've had before always looked and felt well-made and cut smooth as butter. These Ginghers aren't finished well, and do not have the expensive look and feel that I have always expected from Gingher. After I bought the cheaper pair a few years ago, I always regretted that I hadn't gone for the Ginghers. Now I find that it really didn't make much difference anyway. Try Havel instead, if they have the style of scissor you want (they had nothing comparable to these.)

Gingher G-6R 6-Inch Knife-Edge Appliqué Scissors Review

I've done all forms of needle crafts all my life but have never owned applique scissors until these. Now I wish I'd discovered them years ago. Trimming goes much quicker and there's no worry of "accidentally" cutting into a design or background if used properly, letting the large blade be your shield and guide, making them useful for any close trimming, not just applique.
All that's said about them in the description and reviews is true.

With its durable double-plated chrome-over-nickel finish, this pair of 6-inch knife-edge appliqué scissors features a unique design best suited for appliqué work, embroidery, and rug making. The paddle-shaped blade pushes away the bottom layer of fabric or embroidery backing for a clear cutting path and flawless, controlled cuts close to the stitching. In addition, its offset handle creates a comfortable hand position above the work surface. The appliqué scissors measure 1-1/2 by 1-4/5 by 6 inches and carry a limited lifetime warranty.

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

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

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!
