What scissors do you use? I am trying some fussy cutting this morning and struggling because I can't get the precision cuts I want. I know some people use a glass mat and blade but I've tried that with horrible results.

I have these and LOVE them! I do a LOT of fussy-cutting and I have found you need very sharp, short blades on the scissors. to fussy cut well.

I have the Cutterbees as well as the Honeybee (coated with something so you can cut sticky stuff and it won't stick) - I've had them for years and they seem as sharp as the day I bought them.

Thanks ladies. I know I had the yellow ones at some point but don't know what happened to them. I'll need to dig around for them but the ones Sara showed looks promising!

I'm also a big fan of Cutter Bees and Honey Bees have used mine for many years!

I use these as well. I LOVE them. I have been fussy cutting this morning for my Pinterest challenge this month. I agree with Sara, you need something very sharp and with short blades.

I use a combination of the Cutter Bee ones, and the little manicure scissors for the really detailed part of the pattern. I hate the glass mat and Xacto knife. I never seem to do well with that either.

Love my Cutter-bees! Especially the ones with non-stick coating.

I use sharp and tiny tipped embroidery scissors...tiny snips and they go around corners and tight edges beautifully.

I use the Tim Holtz (I'm pretty sure - LOL) ones. They work wonders!

I use my Fiskars Micro Tip or my Honeybee. I find the Fiskars to cut washi tape and twine much better than the Honeybee, but both are great for fussy cutting.
