Hi
I have a stupid question about scissors and I'm sure that
you folks would have the answer. I'm new here and I hope that I'm in the
right aera for this question.

I do not sew or quilt, but I'm in love with someone who does.
My wife is away and I would like to get her a nice pair of scissors as
a surprise when she comes home.

I would like to know the difference between quilters scissors and
dressmakers scissors. I don't have a clue. Are the quilters sharper?
Is their something different about them. I can't tell from the pictures.

I was looking at Mundial Professional Quilters #1850 and Mundial
dressmakers shears #1860. Both are 8 1/2" and are the same price.
But whats the difference? Is that a good brand? Should I be looking at others?

She uses a dinky pair of scissors that are made in China.
She deserves better.
I would appreciate any ideas that you folks have.
And I thank you for your suggestions.

Walt
