Sometimes, you find just the right tool for the job and it isn’t always made for that job. This one helps with cutting fabrics in tight spaces when embroidering cutwork.

Unless you make your own clothing, you might not even know how this tool is used. It’s a buttonhole cutter, otherwise known as a chisel with a razor-sharp edge. I discovered just how handy a buttonhole cutter is while creating a cutwork napkin using an applique design.
