My favorite myth.... "Yes honey, I promise I'll have all of this fabric used up by the end of the year."

I also don't buy the one about cutting through several pieces of tin foil will sharpen them...IMHO...don't try it. THAT might dull the blades.

Yes, cutting through layers of aluminum foil will dull your scissors; I found out the hard way. Maybe I wasn't doing it "right" or something, but I'll never do it again.

I have to admit, until I read this thread, I fell for the no paper-cutting-with-sewing-scissors myth. Good to know I can relax that one (for myself only! As far as my family knows, it's still very true:D)

I don't even try that one!! I tell DH that I'll have all my UFOs done and a lovely queen size quilt for our bed by the end of the year. Ha!! Nope.
