Go to Walmart and buy snips. They are around $5.00 a pair. I know the ones you are talking about at LQS and they are probably a Weiss brand name, all metal. The ones I'm referring to at WM have plastic handles, and extremely pointy tips. Much rather use them and replace them every so often than buy the Weiss, and have to get them sharpened.
I'm with you. I worked in a sewing factory before, years and years ago, you always kept the snips in your hand while sewing. The metal ones. I bought a metal pair, but much rather use the plastic handle ones, they are lighter. I keep them in my hand at the sewing machine at all times, especially while paper piecing. Mary
