Just when you think you know it all.....KAI scissors appear. I have not heard of these scissors. I to am wondering what a basic size of scissors, or the most popular size to start out with. The AQS show comes to Des Moines in the fall would they be vending there, also?

My favorite are the 4" Kai curved blade scissors; but I have 3 pairs of the 4" Kai scissors with the straight blade. I have a pair in each of my sewing areas. They are the only small scissors I use. I love them. The next time I purchase larger scissors, they will definitely be Kai.

Are you going on a bus or driving? Just interested because I wondered if there is a bus from the area.

I am going on a bus from Tustin Senior Center.

I have Kai scissors, and they are great. I also have Buckley small scissors, love them too. My husband bought me the Bordeaux scissors for Christmas.....OMG they are like cutting through butter. Very expensive I believe.....and then I went to Tuesday Morning....they had several sizes really marked down, so I got those too. You can't go wrong with quality scissors, I like all of the above brands. Bordeaux... I could not believe the Mfg.....Clover. They cut right to the tip..THEY CUT THROUGH 12 LAYERS OF FABRIC! (not that I do)....the only ones that Nancy Zieman uses...and not because she promotes Clover....they do perform. They are reduced at her site today.

At the quilt shows, they often have sets of them for a special price. I started out with them.

Oh, yeah...like that's going to work. For my family, that's just an irresistible, juicy challenge. I still want a pair though. I'll have to think of some clever way to hide, or disguise them...LOL.

Has anyone tried their rotary cutters? Fiskars blades seem to get dull so quickly, I'm considering a change. Thanks for this thread - I plan to try a pair of their scissors next chance I get.
