My mom does quilts all the time and for her birthday I was thinking to get a Gingher rotary cutter, extra blades, and some scissors.
She has a Fiskars rotary cutter already, but I read the Gingher cuts nicer and I like the idea of not having to touch the blades. I need help with the scissors. Which scissors are most commonly used by quilters that use rotary cutters? Embroidery? These? http://www.amazon.com/Gingher-Knife-...dp/B000UUABE0/ I know her thread snips are cheap and low quality. Possibly some large scissors for cutting batting? Basically feeling guilty for using her fabric scissors for other things when I was a kid and looking for 2-3 of the most commonly used scissors that would likely be an upgrade. |
Love my Gingher scissors :)

I love mine too! I have the size you mentioned and I also have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Gingher-G-8-8-...bxgy_ac_text_b
She will enjoy either one and she'll love them both! |
I don't know anything about the Gingher cutter, but iI love my Gingher lightweight scissors. They have black plastic handles and are much lighter than all metal ones which is a consideration as we age.

I have the Gingher embroidery scissors and love them for snipping thread and cutting into small corner of applique pieces. Don't know about the cutter
|
Gingher duckbill embroidery scissors.

Gingher comes in such pretty colors/designs too...
|
Is it possible to know which scissors are still made in Germany?
These claim to be made in Italy http://www.amazon.com/Gingher-Inch-K...dp/B002PNLY0K/ but I have seen pictures of Germany, Italy and Mexico. Is it luck of the draw or are some models only made in Germany? |

I would get Ginghers, can't go wrong. I have had mine for years and are still wonderful. I have different sizes of them. The middle size is good all around ones.
