Although they are not my go to scissors when everything is sort of working, I'm still going to them on those days when strength and staying power issues pop up. Keep quilting, it does get better, just takes longer than you'd like to get back to your new normal.

When I broke/do slocated my finger I had 26 costumes to make. The spring loaded Fiskars saved me!

Kai makes left-handed scissors and they are great, worth the money and very sharp. Being the mother of a lefty, I encouraged her to remain left-handed as she had a different thinking process and creative streak.

Yes, left handed scissors are a life saver for a left hand person. No one in my home will use them so they are all mine. I would be very sad if they would become lost. Mine are older scissors; I don't remember where I purchased these.

I've been a lefty my whole life and never used lefty scissors. Just cut with the righty ones in my left hand. I'm not sure what the difference is other than the blade location since it's all I know.
