I was making my first baby rag quilt.  There was a lot of slow, tedious seam snipping with a regular pair of scissors.  I have arthritis in my hands and went online to see if there was an easier way to do this as it would have taken me forever to finish the project with a plain pair of scissors.  Voila! As usual I found what I needed at Amazon.  The reviews were 50/50, but I thought I'd give it a try.  So far they work wonderfully and I snipped all my seams quickly.  Much easier on my hands.
