Cutter and scissors for gift help
#13
I love Gingher scissors, I always kept a pair of Gingher snips beside my sewing machine, I also keep a little pair of the embroidery scissors in my sewing basket for when I'm hand sewing. I've had these for a really long time and still depend on them. My DH knows not to touch anything that doesn't have a colored handle.
I'd get a quilter these ones:
8" Gingher scissors
Gingher thread snips
Clover seam ripper
Gingher rotary cutter (from joanns- on sale)

I really like my Gingher rotary cutter. Got mine on ebay. Brand new still in originsl packaging for a little over $20. There are lots on ebay. Just be aware that Ginghers cutters are definitely right handed or left handed. Be sure you get the right one. I have several Gingher scissors and prefer the black handled light weight ones. The dress maker ones are heavy and are overkill for quilting since I use rotary cutters almost exclusively.

I love Ginghers but there is a new 'kid' that I really like, KAI. There are all sizes and even have lightweight scissors, too. I found several smaller sizes for the intricate applique that McKenna Ryan patterns require. Scissorman.com is the site I got mine at, wonderful scissors.

I love my Gingher scissors. They are small and have rounded tips. I bought them years ago to cut the backs of large appliqués. They are still very sharp. Years ago the best scissors were Wiss. Does anyone still use them? I have read that KAI are very good scissors. I buy cheap scissors sometimes at JA's and then throw them out when they get dull. I need to find a good scissor sharpener I guess.
