Christine, there are special applique scissors you can use, however my machine came with a small pair of scissors that I use for trimming.  Most applique scissors are made for right-handed people, which doesn't work for me because I'm left-handed!   My mother-in-law likes baby scissors for trimming edges with.

Hi labeelady

Thank you for the reply I have small scissors but not quite doing the job so will certainly look for applique ones.

Guess like all things it comes with practice!

Happy New Year!

I have a pair of applique scissors and it is nice around bigger areas but those small corners and such, they are worthless.  I still have to use the small scissors like baby scissors to get in there.

I have the applique sissors also and go around with them but then trim them closer with a small pair of embroidery sissors to get those little parts that the applique sissors don't seem to get with the hoop in the way.
