| I have found that a blade (thread unpicker/ripper or fine scalpel) is less work than squeezing scissors and so less tiring for the hand. Also, most scissors are not strong enough for this kind of work. A scalpel with a fine especially is very effective with tight stitches. Of course the blade must be very sharp and changed regularly to avoid having to heavily saw through thread. Good luck!
