That is a much lower price than what I paid. |
A few years back a local drug store brought in the spring loaded fiskars on a special for $5 Cdn.... all 8 of our quilt group got a pair and that was all their stock. I love mine, although the rag quilts I've made were made before I had these scissors :D

I have the Fiskars ones, got them at walmart years ago, have made lots of rag quilts, they are just as sharp as the day I got them. I also use them when I need to cut close to the edge or seam on things, don't know what I'd do without them!

I got one pair of the Fiskars at Joann's, they were perfect...I gave them to my mom, now my second pair ordered from Amazon are terrible. Looking for a better alternative if anyone has any suggestions...

People who make rag quilts have my sincere respect. I made ONE, and I used the Fiskars spring-loaded snips, and I felt like I was grinding my hands into dust. They ached for weeks and I didn't even do a very good job, I ended up so worn out I didn't do enough snipping so the quilt isn't very good looking; it looks RATTY rather than RAGGY. I gave up and put it in my DH's trunk in case he needs to lay on the ground to change a flat or something, LOL.

The way to avoid the hand fatigue from the snipping is to sew a row, snip, sew another row, snip, this is what I do and it helps a lot!

I have the ones from H. F. They are great
