What tool to use to cut up old blue jeans?
I'm getting a bunch of old blue jeans given to me, and want to cut them up into quilt squares. Is there a special cutter or tool to use besides scissors to use? I think I remember reading somewhere about some kind of special scissors for jeans, but can't locate any.
Maybe I'm just remembering wrong, but if any of you have any ideas I would appreciate it.

I bought my spring loaded scissor at Walmart for doing rag quilts and cutting blue jeans. If the jeans are big enough, lay the leg flat on the cutting matt and rotary cut inside both of the leg seams.

I have arthritis in my hands and used an electric scissors to cut jeans into large pieces. My electric scissors are old and made specifically for cutting fabric, but it is similar to this one:

Many people like the Accuquilt Go! for cutting blue jeans (one layer at a time).
