    Ain't telling. But I wish I could find the older model Fiskars, they seem better than the newer ones.

    I counted 26 pairs of scissors in my sewing room. Guess you can tell, I love scissors! I have most of them in a scissors holder that hangs by my sewing machine so that I can easily reach the pair I need. I keep one pair on my ironing board and 2 pairs near my cutting table for times I am not using a rotary cutter. Yes, I do use all of them from time to time.

    How many pairs of scissors do I have? Don't know I lost count. That's like asking me how many rotary cutters do I have.

    I can honestly say I have NO idea how many pairs I own or even where they all are LOL!! They seem to disappear visit with the missing socks. Than right out of nowhere I will have boxes and boxes.

    Four Ginghers of various sizes. A least five embroidery scissors, two still inthe package, and just bought scissors at Ikea for every room in the house including the bathrooms. And I still can't find anything except my sewing scissors.

    Lots of good scissors, not counting utility scissors scattered around the house for hubby to use. Among mine 3 pr gingher shears 1 7 and 2 8 inchers, several embroidery storks, several pair of fiskars and a pair of vintage Singer pinkers, my most loved scissor is a 5 inch pair of vintage ginghers with BLUNT tips, they are absolutely the best for trimming as the blunt tips do not catch when I am trimming close to the seams. They are absolutely best for trimning embroidery and heirloom sewing projects. Do we want to count rotary cutters? Way too many! I keep my scissors in good repair and have them sharpened about once a year at JOanns.:)
