Making Connections

Where can I buy CROSS-STITCH SCISSORS THAT HAVE A DIP CLOSE TO THE END and can be used for all types of sewing?

The Lift–N–Snip is distributed by Anne Brinkley Designs. These stainless steel scissors have a small curved indentation near the tip of the lower blade and are available in 3½" and 4½" lengths. The Lift–N–Snip is ideal for removing stitching mistakes because the curved area lifts and snips the thread without distorting nearby stitches or accidentally cutting the fabric. Ask for the Lift–NSnip at your local needlework shop. To order by mail, call The Busy Needle in Tucson, AZ, at (866) 929-1977 or (520) 229-1977. Or visit busyneedle.com.
