I have batting scissors and use only wool batting. I love the scissors. I use to use my rotary cutter, which was a hassle. Now, it's so easy and mess free. I would buy them!! They are worth the money. So what if you could spend the money on fabric? You'll have these scissors for life! And you will use them for every quilt you make.

I have a Fiskcars spring action long scissors that I use for batting, I did pay around $20. about 8 yrs ago. I like the long blades that don't get stuck on the batting

aren't the tips of batting scissors blunted so they don't catch in the bat? I think that is part of the uniqueness. I'd really like a pair but struggle with forking over that amount.

Polyester batting is hard on good scissors, as is fleece. When I worked at JoAnn's we had scissors set aside with ribbons on the handles just for fleece.

I have these scissors and would buy them again. Perfect for cutting many layers of batting for squares or strips. I think I paid about $40 for mine some years ago. Never thought not to buy them when I got to try them at the quilt shop.
