I'm excited to hear that embroidery scissors are usually not a problem - I've always flown with my knitting or crochet even if I would rather sew because I was worried about the scissors! I've never had a problem with knitting needles or crochet hooks, flying either domestically within the U.S. or to Europe (and I usually have *many* pairs in my bag).
I've traveled to the UK with knitting and crochet. I've not had any problems with TSA or UK security. I will carry the nail clippers as well for cutting they will work for up to worsted weight yarn.
Most places won’t take embroidery scissors away from you (under a couple inches blade length), however, I did get a small pair taken in Tahiti. From then on I used children’s scissors with a blunt tip or nail nippers.
I travel with tiny cuticle scissors from the 99 cent store. They are TSA compliant because they are tiny enough. They are sharp but don't stay that way for more than a year or 2, but they are cheap and not sentimental.
Hello! The CoCoVid fairy brought me here, but your charming personality kept me! What a nice video! I am only beginning with my embroidery (cross stitch forever!), but I found a little metal box - I think it used to be for pralines (little chocolates) and it is flat but wide enough for my hoop, some embroidery floss, a tiny little pair of scissors and my pattern. Fits into every bag and pirse, love to carry it that way!
I had a very small pair of embroidery scissors with me and my smocking. The first tsa ck let me through the gate entering the Philippines.The same scissors were taken from me when I was exiting the country. I made tha comment that I brought them into the country with ut problems, and he said well, this was existing, not entering, and I would be leaving them with him !!! They were kept !!!! :(

The 3ml sample inch vial could also serve as a clear case for needles, so TSA can check your needles.
For a real small tin of hand moisturizer, I find Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream helpful.
The CoCoVid Badge Fairy flew by with a little "crocus" for you! (See what I did there!)
These are adorable.

I usually travel with scissors for clipping baby’s nails!
Some great tips. Thanks for sharing!
This is such a great video! Thanks for this! Love from a fellow Gulf Southerner! 💜💜
Hi Marliese! Hoping all is well with you.
Would thread snips by ok? They are less than 4inches as per TSA policy.
