perfect for rag quilting
the very best tool to use to complete the techniqueand look for the rag quilting seams,easy on wrist and perfect for avoiding the complications of repetitive motions associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. The spring action in the pruner works excellently when cutting thru several layers of fabric at a time,which in turn eases the human strengh to cut thru the fabric layers.
the shears shape and size are a perfect fit for being in control of fabric and shears,I ordere three pairs.

so-so
The blades are sharp and work well (one serrated and one smooth edge) and the handles are comfortable but these shears have a serious design flaw -- the locking mechanism (the little orange plastic rectangle in the picture) is supposed to slide down and grip the junction where the blades meet, thus locking them. Unfortunately, if you're pointing the shears downwards while cutting, it often slides down of it's own accord and locks the blades while you are trying to use them. You can remove the orange locking piece (it snaps on and off) but then you run the risk of losing it, forgetting where you put it, accidently stepping on it, etc.[...T]hese should have a more sophisticated and reliable locking device.

Exceptional!!
These snips do an excellent job around the garden, whether it'sdeadheading annuals, trimming out dead foliage from houseplants, or nippingoff a bit of catnip for the felines. The serrated blades are plenty strong,and are tapered towards the tip, which makes selecting the right stem tosnip just that much easier. The action of the handles is firm and smooth.An all- around excellent product. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Dusty, grimy plant leaves are not only unsightly; they’re unhealthy. Plant pores clog just like human skin pores. When this happens, a barrier against life-giving sunlight is created, slowing respiration and growth.Regular dusting alone won't do the trick, as even soft rags and brushes can scratch tender leaf surfaces. However, grooming with this soft fleece mitt won't harm even the most delicate of leaves. It maintains a plant’s natural luster, lets it breathe easier, and reduces the chance of insect infestation. Best of all, the mitt is machine-washable--so it can be re-used hundreds of times. Plus, it's conveniently-sized to fit both large and small hands.--Mary Park ... Read more

• Removes dust and grime that clogs leaf pores

Gives Nice Gloss to Leaves
I purchased this glove in order to polish the leaves in my yard.It was useful for all leaves, but not rhododendrons, hence the one star taken off.Rhodendron leaves are coarse, and this glove doesn't seem to do much forthem.Smooth leaves, like those on a jade plant, are very responsive tothe wipings of this glove. ...
