I also have the 4" Ginghers with the leather sheath and the Soft Touch Fiskars. Love them both. I use surgical snips for cutting threads and ripping seams.
|
Mine are Ginghers.
|
Ginghers, Elan, Bohin, and anything Solingen. Mundial and Fiskars are okay if that's all you can get. They're sharp but dull faster than the higher quality scissors.
|
I have a lot of scissors, all brands. The more scissors I have the longer each one stays newer and sharp. I just bought a new pair that are very good. Karen Kay Buckley 7-1/2-Inch Perfect Scissors. I have a pair of Dovo
Solingen that I want to be buried with! I put a pair of Gingher scissors in the desk drawer and in the kitchen. No one bothers to find the good scissors in my sewing room any more. LOL. |
Gingher lightweight scissors. Black plastic that cut better than regular Ginghers for me. In the $20 range at JoAnn's so they are $12 with a coupon.
|
Kai scissors are wonderful, and less expensive than some of the other brands. I bought a bunch of different types online, soon after I started quilting, on the recommendation of several friends who loved theirs. Recently I have seen them at several quilt shows.

Ginghers!!! I still use the pair I was given 25 years ago and they are the best. The 8" ones are what I have. You can find some great deals on ebay.
|
And I'm the cheapskate of the bunch. Walmart sells scissors in packages of 2. One for the kitchen and one for the sewing room. I do, however, spend money on rotary blades. I guess we all have our priorities.
|
yep, my orange handled Ginghers are great. had them for years!!!
|
Thanks ladies!! I'll watch for a JoAnn's coupon and see what they have.
