I would like to share my way of cutting fabric threads that seems to lessen all those little thread stubs that can stick out from Klosters or Buttonhole stitches that have had the fabric cut away.
Take some scraps of even weave fabric and draw a line on it to be a guide for stitching Satin stitches. After stitching the Satin stitches, cut the fabric with the right edge of the scissor's blades next to the stitches,then cut some of the fabric with the left side of the scissors' blades next to the stitches.
If you look down on the blades as you cut on either side of them you will see that the left blade is going to be in the way of the cutting action so that any cut you make on the left side of the blades is going to be a blade's width further away from the embroidery. ©2003, Linda Fontenot, www.AmericanFolkArts.com
