    I keep my Ginghers dressmakers, pinking shears and my two embroidery shears in the orginal cases they came in, with labels on them that say...do not use... only for fabric cutting. Then I also have a flower vase in the kitchen with several pairs of scissors, including kids scissors. This way everyone knows that they can only use the scissors from the flower vase. My scissors pretty much stay out of sight so they don't really know where to find them.

    I don't let scissor use frustrate me. That causes stress and stress is super bad for your health. If for some reason a pair won't cut like I want, I buy a new pair and forget it.
    Got fabric?

    many years ago we had a lock on the freezer door and I would put my sewing scissors in the freezer - so no one would use them... it worked for many years.. I still have those scissors and still use them...

    I know exactly who messes up my scissors------------and she's sitting in this computer chair.

    I get in a hurry and won't look for the junk scissors.

    DH came into my studio today and picked up my sissors that I keep next to machine. He was going to open a box with them. He dropped them quickly when he saw the look he got. Then he walked the 5 steps to get the correct ones. Think he's done that before??
    Happy Quilting.

    I live on my own and have green handled scissors for the kitchen all others are for sewing. Do other people have the problem at classes. I can guarantee that when I sit near a person with a pair like mine I always end up with a blunt pair when I get home or no pair. Rotary cutters have the same problems.
