I had so much fun making this list full of adorable embroidery scissors! Scissors don’t take up much space and I feel like I can never have too many pairs. All of these are little, easy to slip into a pouch for hand sewing on the go or in with your embroidery project! I haven’t tried every single pair on this list but they all come with good reviews and are surely sharp enough to snip threads without any fuss. I’ve grabbed those 99 cent pairs from the checkout line before and always regretted it!
