Small Scissors
#1
I am about 2/3 or the way through cutting out over 150 alphabet letters in varying sizes out of felt with frezzer paper on top and heat n bond on the bottom. These are for a Cub Scout banner project my DD asked me to make. In the process I'm ruining my favorite small pair of scissors -- the only ones I have that will actually cut right to the tip of the scissors. And I don't remember for sure where I got these years ago, but I think it was some place like Walmart. There is no brand name on them. From the pivot screw to the blade tip is 1 3/8 inches.
So, my question is this: What brand/type of small scissors do you use for sewing and other projects like this and where did you get them?

Thanks for the suggestions. I had never heard that about using sandpaper to sharpen scissors. So far these are staying pretty sharp. But I'm worried about 'springing' them so that they don't close properly and cut properly right at the tip. Of all the small scissors I've had, these are the best for cutting through right at the tip.

My favorite is a tiny pair of Ginghers. Hancocks sells them for $24 or $25. I bought a box of sewing junk stuff at an auction one night for $2.00. In one of the bags was a piece of ugly tan yarn. When I pulled it out to through it away there was a pair of tiny Ginghers attached to it!

I have the Fiskars small scissors with the micro tip. Love them! The tip is really fine and I'm also able to snip out seams on the back of the material instead of using a seam ripper. Much quicker!!!
