Here is a link to the scissors from J Hittle:

http://www.jhittlesewing.com/sewing/catalog.php

The link didn't go to the scissors. Just go the left and click on Heritage Cutlery, scissors and go to the bottom of the page.

I have made over a dozen rag quilts with them and my hands never hurt. I have arthritis in my hands and also had carpel tunnel surgery done on both hands. These scissors are just awesome!

Make one rag quilt using regular scissors and then buy a pair these where ever you find the best price. You won't appreciate them unless you use regular scissors first.

I order from Jhittle too, but be sure it's what you want from there. They charge a $25 restocking fee for returns no matter the cost of the item.
