naaaaaaaah,,,,not so....

I don't have enough fingers and toes to count them all.

Let's see - 3 or 4 pairs of kid scissiors for snipping ends (cheap, sharp enough), one pinking, one Gingher fabric shears, one cheap paper shears (for paper piecing), two that were gifted to me. So at least 8 in my sewing room(s).

I have 12 pairs of scissors for sewing all sizes... never really yhought about it ........lol

I have one and it's maybe 15 years old. I want to get a new one but don't know what to get.

No Way!!! Get the light weight shears that gingher has for about $20.00 or $10 if you have a 50% off coupon at Joann's

Let's see, I have about 20 pairs of Gingher embroidery scissors, 2 pairs of Gingher dressmaker shears, 3 pairs of Dovos, and a beautiful pair of Maison Sajou embroidery scissors I got to put in a needlebook/embroidery case once I finished embroidering it.

I am a scissor whore. I have to have one in each embroidery project I in the works. I'm bad, I know.

3 then a pair for paper,

You are all scissor junkies.....I don't know how many I have and I probably couldn't find them all if I tried. There seems to be one pair in each UFO stack.....I don't know why....

I am guessing 6? I think that is right? well that is usable. there are 3 more that are not usable so that doesnt count right?

I have at least 8, 2 in my little bag I take to quilt class, 2 on my sewing table, Oh I have two tables. my mom gave me a little case that cries a sissors and seem ripper. and acouple in the big bag dang I have more than I thought, never mind............

ROFLMBO

13 fabric cutting, 6 machine embroidrey, 10 paper cutting and plus I know there's more of each so I say about 40

I'm not even sure I know how many I have...I'd have to go count them. I have A LOT! Scissors just for fabric, scissors I cut thread with, scissors I use to cut paper, kitchen scissors, craft scissors, applique scissors, pinking shears, scrapbooking scissors and, of course, my rotary cutters...all sizes - tiny, small, medium and large!

It doesn't matter if I have 10 or 5 I can never find them when I need them! I have to wear them around my neck like my glasses when I sew. LOL

As promised, the picture of my collection. I have another one wandering around, but I can't find the chatelaine it's on.

I think if I counted mine, I might be embarrassed. But, I always buy Mundial or Clause 5" embroidery scissors when they are 50% off at Hancock's!! I LOVE those scissors for sewing and applique!

too many to count

LOL...you haven't washed them yet???

I have one large pair of gingher and a LOT of little scissors...I use them for quilting and scrapping and beading so there's lots of different ones and then I collect vintage little ones....

Well, I inherited my Mom's scissors. She had some that were her mother's. I don't use them, so they don't really count. I really only use about 4. My two favorites are Kai dressmakers and embroidery scissors. I would grab them in a fire! Just sayin...

I have 2 pairs of the Gingher shears and 3 of the little 4" scissors. My DD sews so some of them are hers. She still lives with me.

I buy more every time they're on sale.

I have never bothered to count mine, either for sewing or the rest of the house, NO ONE uses my sewing scissors, they have always been off limits. My two children knew that was a BIG NO NO when they were growing up if they bothered my sewing stuff.
So funny, I guess I was about the same way. When I was about 3 or 4, a HS student that I loved dearly played the piano at our Church. One Sunday, she came with a new short hair cut. My hair was really long, and mother always washed and curled it on long rollers every Sat.. Well that Sunday after Church, because Jan had a new hair cut I decided I needed one too. While mother was preparing lunch, I proceeded to cut my hair, only had one side cut when she caught me. What a mess. Bad part about it, my dad was lying on the bed watching me, (I was in their bedroom,) and didn't stop me. Mother asked him why he didn't stop me this is what he told her, "Well I was going to see if she would really do it" needless to say mother was mad at both of us.

I think I only have 8 pairs. Only three large ones. The rest small or embroidery scissors. :thumbup:

I have so many pair of scissors that I would be all day finding and counting them.. I've bought quite a few pair, (that's QUITE a few pair) plus I've been given some, and I've inherited many pair from my Mother, both of my grandmothers, and now a bunch more from my recently deceased MIL... I keep small ones in a shoe box, large ones in a basket, and then I have them in drawers, and in the cutting table, in work baskets.. all over the place!

Gorgeous Avatar :)

Oh my, i would have to say about 8 different kinds. two of them are gingher that get hid when i am not using them.

I always hid mine around hubby and son...LOL

Being, I'm a dog groomer, dozens priced from a dollar to $200 each.

LOL, I told my daughter just for the fun of it when I die and they are cleaning out my stuff (poor kids) put ALL my scissors in a box. Then they will certainly know I went over the edge long before I died. I do tend to pick up scissors, fabric and quilt magazines and books if I find them at Goodwill or a tag sale. Hmmmm, hoarder???? Maybe in that area. Oh well have fun all and enjoy all your STUFF!

ya know the stuff in garage sales is sooooo cheap compared to the stores how can we NOT BUY THEM...LOL

can't exactly say, but when I had them sharpened the wife of the man who sharpened them wanted to know how many people owned them all.LOL

ROFL

that would be alot

the scissors I keep hidden in the bottom of my sewing box are Mundial. I have odds and ends of cheapie scissors for paper and wrapping paper and several small embroidery scissors, one pair that were my great grandmother's that i keep in my jewelry box.

off the top of my head I have 5 for quilting.....and a total of 14+ in the entire house and those are the ones I can locate. I'm sure we have more in school supplies and elsewhere.

I have one pair for fabrics and one small pair for trimming therads. I also have a small pair in my embroidery box. I've been using the same pair of scissors for fabrics for over 15 years and they are still perfect! They aren't Ginghers either.

I only have 3 pair, two of those are actually embroidery ones. nothing fancy here. (smile)

Not so many scissors, but gots lots of Olfas of all sizes!
