I have dull scissors I want to save. How do I get them sharpened?

Check with your lqs they may have someone they can recommend. I am bless with a husband that sharpens mine.

Check with the company who made them, some will sharpen them for you for a small fee. Some fabric stores also bring in some one to sharpen them for you.

Ask your local barber or hair stylist who sharpens their scissors.
