I use the Fiskars Spring Loaded Snips. I have used mine to clip quite a few rag quilts, and they are still pretty sharp.....and much easier on your hands!

I had my teenagers help.

Use a scissors that has a "spring back" feature. I've done a few this way, but take breaks.

LOL, a weedwacker? That is so funny, could see myself doing that, lol, the kids would REALLY think I cracked.....I am one of those people that WOULD try it to save some money, lol!

i got a pair of fiscars short scissors with a spring on it. helps a lot.

Please be careful!! I developed "trigger thumb" because of this and had to have a cortisone shot while living in Panama. This shot was the most painful thing I've been through (I won't go into details but I dont' think the shot was given properly).
Anyway, take your time, use a clipper made for this project and again, be careful!! |
I have the spring loaded rag clippers. They are great. Watch for JoAnn's 50% off coupons and get yourself one.

I use the Fiskars spring loaded craft snips. Got them at Michaels with their coupon and they work great!
|
I have the Heritage Cutlery 6.5 inch rag quilting snips. Well worth the money.
