Perfect Scissors™ by Karen Kay Buckley are here @ CindysThreadworks.Com

 

*(customer feedback)...wanted to let you know how great those little serrated scissors are...they have been cutting the tiniest bits...like butterfly feelers and ladybug feet...itty bitty bits.  They are fabulous cutters and my thumb comes off with ease.  Have been working on a Jane Sassaman style square and it requires the precise cuts.  The fused mystic fuse does not cling to the serrated part--I am impressed totally. Alison K. (fabric/textile artist)

How to Make Perfect Appliqué Circles Everytime:
 
 

Karen Kay Buckley NEW Perfect OVALS™ templates!

Note from Karen: "If you love your Perfect Circles® you will love the NEW Perfect Ovals™. They are made from the same heat resistant plastic as the Perfect Circles® so you can use them with an iron on a medium heat setting.  Inside each package are detailed directions along with 20 ovals, 10 sizes, 2 of each size.  I love them for making grapes and flower petals and I have no doubt you will find even more uses for them.
