Best darn scissors ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I guard my scissors like crazy. It became a family joke so my christmas stocking was stuffed with all kinds of scissors. You would think we can keep track of them...not so much. There is four of us in the house and I have grown a pair of eyes on the back of my head and still I find my scissors in the weirdest places (when I do not need them). I am seriously contemplating one of those baby locks with alarm for my sewing drawer.

I just bought myself a pair of Gingher's and dare anyone to use them for anything (including fabric).

What a neat idea - wallpaper scissors - thanks for the tip.

People know that to touch my scissors could result it amputation! GRRRRRR!

I think you may have something there....Have some handed down from my mother...Me???(82)...AND they are still just as sharp and were never sharpened!!

wow did not know there were scissors for wallpaper, I am gonna have to check it out. Thanks for the tip.

Great tip! Thanks!!!

Tashana - skip the baby lock. Just buy a cheap combination padlock. Loop it though the handles and don't tell ANYONE else the combination.

My bezt scissors are serrogated blade Mundial...only prob. No one carries them anymore. Great for slippery fabs too.

tie a pink ribbon on them[girl germs!!]

Make him go buy you some very expensive scissors. He will learn not to use them If he has to buy a few.

Thank goodness my spouse leaves my scissors alone. Now if only he'd stop swiping my "sewing" lint roller!

If someone else in this house were to cut something other than fabric with my Gingher's, I might have to do some cutting of my own..... if you know what I mean....);)

Thank you so much for this Tip I'll be going and looking for a pair !:thumbup:

I have warned if anyone touches my sewing scissors I will cut their hands off lol

Great idea! I need to get some scissors to do the larger rough cuts on fusible appliqe so I don't use my fabric scissors. I'll look next time I'm at the hardware/paint store.

Thank You for the good info. I to am a lefty so I will check and see if a store around here has them.

Our guild program was brought by a LQS owner who sponsored a "Christmas in July" event and she hired a Santa to come... when he arrived it was with a black eye and some scrapes that were healing. When asked, "What happened???" he deadpanned, "I used my wife's sewing scissors to cut cardboard..." (he was actually in an small accident, but clearly got the laugh!!!)

Thanks for the tip. I have several good scissors. In fact on my notions wall I have old and new ones. My son came to visit and thought I had too many pairs. (not all are good ones, I have old ones of my mother in laws) So, if you need a pair at my house, you may just get some that are over 20 years old unless you are cutting fabric.

My Gingher's are off limits to everyone as well. Have 3 pair now and have considered scheduling them on my Homeowners Insurance along with jewelry.

That is too funny!!

abdconsultant: Thanks for the scissors tip. I'm going to check it out!

Thank you for the great tip.

Just had a light bulb moment for those in family groups. Put a small bell on the scissors and you will hear them walking away.

Great thanks for the tip, our DGD is a lefty. I know what you mean about finding them!...

this is what I have and NOONE touches them but me..............................

What a great tip. Thank you.

Great idea,"they" will never toch your scissors again !!!!!!!!

Or buy a small metal tool box with a place to put a lock. Keeps predators out for sure.

years ago one of the males in my house cut wire with my favorite Ginghers....heads rolled! Of course nobody did it! I have since bought a couple other pairs in the flowery print Ginghers, they don't touch those, too girly.

We have tons of scissors hanging around, mostly for paper and one nice set for my fabric (so far). Then my DH bought a pair just for him to use on his projects. They showed up with a nick in them and he assumed I used them for cutting a wire or something! LOL as if I didn't know better. I'd be upset if he used my fabric pair for the same thing. So now we both keep an eye on each other I guess. :D

Thanks for the tip. And my husband is a lefty. I'll just have to get him his own.

I am going to go find a pair of these for back up's shears.

My husband & or kids have gotten hold of a few to many pairs of my sewing shears & rendered them use less for fabric. no amount of threats have stopped them. So now I never ever leave them in the sewing room where all the other shears are in plain view. They are well hidden & only come out when I am cutting out a project, then they are hidden away again.

I've looked online and cannot find "wallpaper scissors"
Did find a manufacturer who takes minimum order of 6k?
What's the brand of your scissors?

Sounds like a neat scissors. I may have to check them out.

Didn't know such scissors exsisted. Thanks for sharing the tip

Those locks that you put on your suitcase when flying (TSA approved) would also work well. I think I'll stop in my local wallpaper store soon. Thanks.

In my house everyone knows the unspoken rule "dont touch mums scissors or else!" I have paper and fabric scissors and one pair for everyone else.

Where did you get wallpaper scissors? I suppose I could google it, but folks on this board know the best places to buy everything! What a price, too!!
