Might work well for cutting wrapping paper though.

Oh, I think you might have something there, with the wrapping paper. I too, remember when my Mom got a pair. They seemed like a good idea at the time... At this moment, I have no idea whatever happened to them.

Do I still use them? Heavens NO. Not since I discovered the marvelously accurate Roller Cutters. I have one around somewhere, as soon as it surfaces it's going to go to GoodWill.

Wow - I forgot all about these. I remember my mom having one - and I do remember the fabric jamming the blades too. Rotary cutters are actually easier to use - or a good pair of ginghers!

Does anyone use electric scissors to cut their fabric with?

not quilting blocks, but I still sew garments for my grandchildren and dresses for church. It helps with fibro...goes a little faster! ;-)
