Don't overlook a detail: I used it on a bolster pillow, not on a flat one http://www.xs4all.nl/~falkink/lace/hang-EN.html But if anyone also sees its use on a flat pillow I'd be curious.

Tamara, Yours, still trying to figure out (8 weeks later) some lacy use for scissors with a semi-circle taken out of one blade... The doctor did some snipping with them and then said here, want them? They'll only throw them away. So I took them, but still don't know what the advantage is (or might be) Any use for finger nails??? Or are they perhaps just for the heavier duty aortas :) David - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I use drinking straws to protect the thread on the bobbins, and scrapbook spines to keep the bobbins in a row on a bolster.

Ahhh, that's why I keep surgical hemostats at the ready. They come in straight and curved mode and work better for me than tweezers. Tamara, one edge of the scissor blade is curved to aid in slipping the scissor blade under the stitch before cutting it out. Those scissors are excellent for cutting threads very closely and for removing couching stitches in needle lace. Mind you, they don't stay sharp as long as true surgical or needlework scissors, but hey - they're free! Didn't he give you the clips as well? They come together in a disposable packet.

They'll reposition it also, if you haven't actually misplaced it, but just want to clear a tiny spot to make sure that your stitches are OK.
