I love my Ginghers, but I love my Fiskars, too. I was fortunate to inherit a batch of scissors from a friend that died a couple years ago, and have 2 of many sizes of Ginghers from tiny embroidery to dressmaking shears, but also the Fiskars he used, along with a Fiskars sharpener! So I can use both for whatever I'm doing and almost always get a nice clean cut. Lucky me!!!
