I would HIGHLY recommend Fiskars. They honor their "lifetime warranty" with no questions asked. In my opinion, that alone makes them the best :)

(I purchased a Westcott Titanium scissors and it is guarteed to stay sharp for life and if it gets dull they will send you a replacement. The scissors cost $10.00 and well worth it.
Deborah12687) I purchased a set of Westcott Titanium, 8" and 5", with the soft grip handles for less than $15 and love them. Cuts through anything and life-time quarantee. Excellent! |
Don't cut anything but fabric/thread with your "good" shears regardless of what brand you get.[/quote]
Thank you NanSew! This should be printed in HUGE letters! This is the most important rule in sewing. If you use them for other things, they will begin to 'chew' through the fabric! If you are going to spend hard earned money (and when isn't it?)for a good pair, why waste it? |
I have had my set of ginghers for so many years and they are still razor sharp. All of them are wonderful.
The other ones I have and love are the mundial snips. They have been around more years than I can count and work great! One thing I will say is I never leave them where someone can use them for anything but for material and sewing. I have a pair of fisker's spring type for paper cutting. They are very nice to do that with. |

I love the Mundial serrated scissors. you don
t know that they are serrated unless you run your fingnail over the edge. it grips the s;lipperiest of fabrics, and cuts sooooo smoothly. they are hard to find. reasonabley prices about $18.00 and i've had mine for over 10 yrs with no wear on them. i swear by them. |
