Ginghers

The last time I asked about scissor sharpening at JoAnns, I was told that they don't do it anymore because of insurance issues!? I just bought a pair of Fiskars that they use at the cutting table. They love them and they're very reasonable.

I'm still using my Ginghar sewing scissors from the 60's. I think my small scissors for snipping threads while quilting & cupping applique pieces with Steam n' Seam attached is a Mundal.

i just use a pair of Fiskars because i dont use them that often i use my cutter or rip my material so getting a exspensive pair would not make a differance to me but i did notice someone else said they dont stay sharp very long and i noticed mine were getting dull i have used them for about 4 years and never sharpened them

My favorite are LEFT HAND CUTTING SCISSORS. I love these scissors and no one, absolutely no one in my house, will use them. They are all mine!

It didn't matter what type of scissors I bought or what threats I made to my brood, they always got commandeered and used to cut paper, cardboard, flowers, wire, you name it. Scissor abuse. So, if there are children in the house I'd advise against buying the most expensive scissors and opt for the easily replaceable ones, like middle of the road Fiskars.
