Duckbill / Appliqué The most asked question we receive at craft shows is ‘What are those scissors with the bill used for?’ Well they are perfect for any sort of appliqué. They are also ideal for any other situation where you want to cut up close to a second layer of fabric or lace, such as in lace-making or for making lingerie. The bill acts as a rest steadying the point of the scissors allowing it to slide easily while holding the bottom layer of fabric down so it can’t get cut.
