    Even with nail scissors, it's awfully easy to snag a kilt thread. I highly recommend something blunt (a lot more blunt than a seam ripper). Even a big knitting needle is better than scissors. Obviously you need scissor to cut a thread, but it's better to pull it through the fabric with something blunt.

    I only used the scissors to do a few cuts on the thread, I pulled the thread out with my fingers...very slowly.

    I use the seam ripper. I use the blunt side to lift the thread and cut it and use my fingers to pull the thread out.

    Hey Chris, would that be the sword, or the explosive?

    I think the mine would damage some of the tartan so I'd stick with the sword.
