You can't beat Ginghers. Buy them at Joann's with your coupon. I did in 1994 and haven't had them sharpened yet. Still cutting right along. FABRIC ONLY!!!!

I also use Fiskars because I have tendonitis in my thumbs and I like the spring action of them if I'm doing a lot of fashion sewing. If cutting straight lines for blocks, I use my rotary cutter.
