Yep and they are pink , so in for today ! I use them for sewing garments cutting. You don't push them , that's when they goof up , just go along and they work great ! Maybe try again for projects but I agree not for quilting !

Yes I do use them if I have something real heavy. Works good for that.

I found mine when cleaning out my sewing stuff -- I haven't used them since sewing polyester clothing in the 70's -- so blades are probably dull -- but I did use them then -- maybe again....

I hear that electric scissors are great for cutting the fringe on rag quilts.

They really are. I made a chenille quilt and they worked perfect for that

I have a pair of those too. I thought I could have used it to cut my cardboards used in my cake baking, but ZILCH! Doesn't work. I also have two pairs of the electric scissors (why 2??)that I used eons ago in cutting double knit. That stuff used to ruin the edge on shears SO fast.

I suppose I could put them in the cupboard with all my "evolution of coffee pots" -- drip pots, drip-o-lators, percolators, etc. I just can't seem to part with any of them.
:roll:
