[Steppes] OT: Flying with needlework/sewing projects

[Jewell Wainwright]

You can take sewing projects on the plane, and that includes needles.  I flew to NYC and then to Italy in October and took my needlework with me.  To get around the no scissors rule, I had a tiny pair of plastic and aluminum scissors that cleared the x-ray machines with no problems, and they workd great.  They are called "itty bitty scissors" and I got them at my local quilt shop.

Next month I am going to be making a trip to Washington State to see my son. I have some needlework projects that I would like to be able to work on, if possible, on the plane. I haven't tried to take such a project on a plane, before. I know you can't have knives or scissors. Is there a way to cut embroidery floss or thread cleanly enough that I will be able to thread needles or cut threads without a problem? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
