Scissors
 
Can any recommend their favourite scissors, maybe Ginghers or similar - ( for quilting/ patchwork )
I would like to treat myself to a really nice pair.
Thanks

Karen Kay Buckley has come out with a line called Perfect Scissors. They have serrated blades which cut fabric like butter. They come with a plastic cover for the blades. I absolutely love them. They are the bee's knees.

I love my Ginghers! I love the classic look, the heavy feel, and of course, that they slice through fabric like it's nothing.

I like Ginghers and Kai with Kai being my favorite. I haven't tried Karen Kay Buckley's but I've heard they're good.

I love my Ginghers but don't really use them that often as I always grab for my rotary cutter. They are so expensive these days, must go with a coupon at Joanns. Also have a super cheap pair of scissors in your sewing room for cardboard and such to protect your 'good scissors'...Does any one know a good scissor sharpening service. Can we send our scissors to Ginghers ???

I'm with Emily's Mom, I have about 20 pairs of scissors from all different manufacturers, and my Kai scissors are by far my favorite! FYI, they also have the serrated blades which grip the fabric as you cut, so there's no slipping.
