I have all sorts of cheap and expensive scissors, but my favorite that I always turn to? The $2 ones I get at Walmart. I have a pair that I've had for years and they are still as sharp as the day I bought them. I use them ONLY for fabric. Do I use my others? Sure, when I can find them. It seems I use the expensive ones, sit them down and they are lost OR the family decides they need a pair of scissors and they snatch them for whatever they want to cut. I scream at them and tell them TO NOT TOUCH MY THINGS, but my voice goes unheard. So, I just stick to my cheapo Walmart scissors and if they are taken by someone and used for something else, I'm ok. Ok, maybe not ok, but at least I'm not panicking.
