I took a class on this style of applique yesterday, and I asked the teacher. She said that she uses a separate pair of scissors for cutting through the paper, fusible, and fabric. However, she doesn't really think that it dulls or harms the scissors to cut through the paper with them. She said that the fusible material itself does not gum up the scissors.

I have used my Ginghers for paper, card stock, plastic, foam, and other craft items. They still cut fabric just as good. I have a pair of Ginghers in my kitchen and they are used to cut everything, they are still sharp. When you need scissors you need them to cut so why use the not so good ones on anything? I like the Titanium scissors and the Clover just as much as the Ginghers for cutting fabric. I have Fiskars, Fanmore, Singer, Bernina, and other brands of scissors, I pick up whatever is closest to use.
