I have five pair of the 5 inch ones and I almost don't use anything else. They are great, I even use them when I'm embroidering. I cut fabric with them when the need arises, although most of my fabric is rotary cut. I have used Ginghers for years after trying about everything else on the market and not being happy with anything else. Have also tried the Kai small scissors but am not totally sold on them, so I guess I'll carry on with my Ginghers...
