The Cose 4 1/2'' (12cm) concealed patchwork scissors are compact scissors with a rounded, recessed tip, ideal for cutting threads and trimming edges close to the fabric without the risk of accidentally snagging or damaging the patchwork piece underneath. They are widely used for sewing on delicate surfaces, such as machine embroidery and appliqué, where a conventional sharp point would pose a risk. The compact 12cm size facilitates handling with short, precise movements. They are a highly valued accessory for those who regularly do patchwork and decorative sewing.
