For many years,my family has known that if you touch my ginghers,I'll cut off your arms at the elbows.
I don't understand not having another pair of Ginghers for them to use. I have several pair of heavy metal Ginghers and I don't think they are the best ones I have. They are rather inexpensive now anyway. Heck, I have Dovo scissors in the desk drawer. The only scissors I have that are special to me are my hand sewing Nogent scissors. The ones I use the most in my sewing room are Havel's serrated blade scissors. They cut exactly like Karen Buckley scissors. I have hers too.
