Sharp and easy to use. Nice color.As a quilter I have found over time, that I don't like having to pick up a pair of scissors or even scissor-like nippers to snip thread tails at the sewing machine, ironing board or even the cutting table. I bought my first curved snips to snip threads under the sewing machine embroidery hoop and have been hooked on Tula-like snips ever since because they are light weight, take very little effort to use, don't take up much real estate in my sewing area, and they have multiple uses (if you have the right snip, that is).The micro-serrated blades of Tula's snips work great because when clipping threads, the thread doesn't try to slide out of the blade without being cut. They are also good at cutting fabric which isn't something that snips can usually do. If you notice that you missed trimming off a dog ear on some patchwork and your snips are handy...use them! Again, because of the serrated blades, the fabric stays in place between the blades and is cut.I use these snips not only to clip threads but also as a seam ripper (Yes I admit it. I have to use them as rippers a lot sometimes!) because they have fairly thin blade tips. I use them as a ripper when the stitch length is 1.8 or higher.The opalescent finish on these snips makes them feel a bit heavier/bulkier than some other snips but I find the finish helpful because they are not slippery so are easier to hang onto. When I took the snips out of the package there was a slight burr or roughness at the blade tip that snagged fabric so I simply filed them with an emery board. I believe it may have been the finish that had caused this and once filed, the snips were fine.Overall, I like these snips and they have become my go-to snips.Was hoping to love these but I feel that they aren’t very sharp. I have to try a few times to snip my threads and get the right angle for it to work. Very annoyingThese EZ Snips have sharp blades that cut materials very well when going machine embroidery work.BEST snips ever! I keep them on a magnet right on my machine. Super sharp!Great handy tool.I put a magnetic ony machine and made this my handy snippers.Can cut through small pieces of fabric if you're in a pinch.I love how easy these are to hold in your hand and sip away threads. They are very sharp and get the job done.
