To me, that sounds like something a super hero would use. But I was given these as a Christmas gift from someone who knows my recent sewing interest. I doubt I will actually use these much, but they were fun to play with this morning. I think I might have more use for them with paper than with fabric.

Those look so cool & fun to use!
How do you keep the line from moving as you cut?
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Interesting. How do they work? Does it mark the fabric some way and then allow you to cut it with laser beams?

I've seen these advertised before; seems pretty neat to me.

The lazer would be very handy squaring up backing, or your quilted top. you could mark along the lazer line and then rotary cut it :D:D:D

Use the force, Hannahjo! :lol:

I don't use scissors much, more the rotary cutter. But what a neat gift!

they'd be great if you wanted to mark your fabric first, but other than that, I'd use them for paper. tee hee Great thought though.

COOL!!!!

Maybe next they'll make a laser rotary cutter!!!

now only if they can come up with a way for that beam to cut out our patterns we would be in business!!!

Wow, I didn't know that animal existed!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

A lady in my small sewing group has a pair of these scissors and I have never seen them with the lasor since the battery has died and she never thinks to replace them. But I do know that she said she loved them.

Sounds cool.

I have a pair of those. The laser is not actually in a straight line with the blades though.

One of my geek sons gave me a pair of these scissors a couple of years ago. I loved them. I even used them as a laser pointer in my class room. I need to replace the battery.
He got mine from Thinkgeek.com. Yep, it is a real place.

Looks wild!

Those are cool.

And it's one of my favourite stores!

Oh my!! I'm laughing at myself, because my first thought was that a laser beam that cut fabric would also be dangerous! :oops: :oops:

may the force be with you LOL

lol

I'd have trouble keeping it lined up on the mark, so I'd still be cutting crooked!

I watched a video someplace to use these for squaring up your quilt before binding. I think it would work good.

I might have to try that.

Never heard of these. Will have to see if I can see one sometime. Do not remember seeing or hearing about them locally.

Oh my gosh! I have a little laser level that my daughter got me (I do a lot of home projects). I never thought to use that for quilting.

I wonder if you could do the same thing with a laser that lines up pictures on the wall? You could place it on you cutting table and use your ruler and rotary cutter....Hmmm.

I wonder if it works better than electric scissors. I tried those a couple of years ago and it was like driving a cat.

IMHO these scissors are only as accurate as the person using them. Once you begin to cut, if your hand shifts at all the laser will still be showing a straight line, even if it isn't the line you originally began following.
Hands using scissors are moving so they can always shift direction.

A little advice, do not cut paper with scissors that are intended for fabric as they will not be sharp long.

I would like that. I love gadgets! But I vowed not to buy any more gadgets just cuz they're cool.

Just remember the "scissors' rule". Once you cut paper...... Maybe you should rethink this. Good luck. They are really too cool.

Oh wow... don't let my DH see those... he's all about the latest and greatest in tools :D

I showed them to him and he asked "if I'd like a pair?"
I replied, "SURE!"
He then said, "Get me your Ginghers and a roll of Duck Tape" Ha ha
He has a small laser level that would fit perfectly on my larger scissors ha ha...

That was my first thought also.
Would like to see them work once. :thumbup:

Joyce

i have never heard of those , they are cool looking

thats a good idea !!

goodnes sI did`nt know they exsited how do they work I wonder.

I googled and found them for sale, on line.
Some cost less than $10.00, including S&H
But I could not find a review on that particular scissors,
However the reviews on lazer cutters/scissors that I did find did not rate them overly high.
Think I will wait and see what the rest of you all think about them.
I really like the rotary cutters, and now that I found the blades at a descent price I will probably keep on using those.
But then who knows, my BD is coming up soon. :o)the lazer scissors mite be the thing to ask for.

Neither did I! Just goes to show we learn something new every day...and especially on this board!

I had some, too!
