On my list of "to do's" is to make a jeans quilt (the circles sewn w/squares inside if anyone remembers the pics posted here!) Anyway, I've gotten by so far with only having paper scissors at my disposal - but I'm thinking that to cut that much denim will require a decent pair made for fabric....
So, what I'd like to know is - what do I look for? Can I get them at JoAnn's? How inexpensive can I get them and still get a decent pair?

I really like my Gingers the best, but Fiskar (sp) is my second choice.

Is Gingers something I could get at JoAnn's? Expensive?

I never use my good ones for cutting jeans. Fiskars is as expensive as I go with Denim.

Ginghers are quite pricey.. I would go with the fiskars.. very good scissors and you can get them with a coupon at JoAnns or Hobby Lobby.

One of the best pairs of inexpensive scissors I've found so far are "Elan" I think they were about 15 to 20 bucks but they cut really nice. The pink handle Mundial set is really nice too.

I use Fiskar's and Mundial.

Gingers are the best but you can wait until there' s a coupon. Most LQS have scissor sharpening days too.

What we need is a rotary sharpening day.

Fiskars has some quite nice ones that have gray handles and are in the $15-$20 range. They do a very nice cut on everything I've used them for. The newspaper/print shop associated with the office supply store I work for uses them for cutting slicks (and maybe negatives too) for print jobs. I cringe when I think about them cutting paper with "my" good scissors!
