Anyone have their scissors sharpened?
#62
I have a knife/sissor sharpener for my kitchen, used it for my sissors and it works great. The sharpener is one you hold in your hand, looks like a handle, EASY to use. Try this site, mine is the yellow one. My husband gave it to me as a gift, I think he got it from Lowes or HDepot for between $6 and $10. I use it a lot. Shop around it is well worth the price. you can do it yourself for the rest of your life. http://www.accusharp.com/

I've had my Ginger's sharpened twice now and have had them over 25 years, same for my pinking shears. They hold a sharp edge great and for a long time as long as you take good care of them and only cut fabric.

I sent my Ginger scissors back to the company for sharpening and have been very satisfied with the results. There was a charge for sharpening and shipping but well worth the price. You can Google Ginger repair for address and prices.
