Rag quilt scissors
I want to try making a rag quilt and am looking for suggestions regarding spring loaded rag scissors. In researching them Fiskars are the cheapest (around $14). Prices go up to over $100 which I don't want to pay. What do my fellow quilters recommend?

I have a pair of Fiskars also & I love them. Still sharp as when I bought them. Once they seemed to "bind" a little. I thought maybe I had bent a blade but I just loosened the little black phillips head screw jut below the blades & that fixed the problem & work great.

Do yourself a favor and get the Heritage Cutlery 6.5" Spring Loaded Rag Quilting Snips. They are the best I have ever used for rag quilts. When my guild was making donation rag quilts everyone had the Fiskars but when they used my Heritage ones I couldn't get them back. They are made to last and never get stuck closed or open. Mine are years old and still cut like new.

The only "complaint" I have is that sometimes the safety catch will catch when I don't want it to. They are SHARP - and stay sharp.
