Do you absolutely "need" a pair of bright red scissors for your embroidery and/or cross-stitch work? Probably not. Do you WANT a pair? You're here, so probably yes!
 
These red embroidery scissors measure 3.5" high (please see photos of the scissors with my hands in the shot and the photo of them next to a ruler for size reference) and feature rounded details on the handles and stem.
 
Embroidery scissors are great for all sorts of crafts - I've had customers purchase these for their work in crochet, knitting, quilting, cross stitch, other fabric crafts, and, of course, embroidery! In embroidery, I use scissors like these to snip off the tails of embroidery floss. Regular scissors will also do the job, but having a pair of embroidery scissors like these can make it just a bit easier (and more fun!).
