scissors question

missmis99 · April 2012

I have been doing a lot more sewing and am in need of new scissors. I currently have Fiskers and they are OK. Is there something better that you would recommend? I noticed that Joann's has Fiskers and another really expensive brand. Any reason to switch from what I have?

I cheap out on scissors because I usually misplace them (and find them months later) AND I make sure they are only used to cut fabric. I wouldn't skimp on rotary cutters though, Olfa is the way to go there.

My Gingher shears have held up much better than my Fiskars.

I prefer the design of a Fisker rotary cutter over Olfa though.

Gingher are better quality, but I have more shears that are other brands because I like the handles better. I have not met a pair of comfortable Gingher's yet. I have a couple of Fiskars, inclurding a huge, rather scary pair, a couple of Mundial and quite a few others that serve various purposes, but the pair that I reach for most often is a pair of some brand that I had never heard of before, that had great comfort grip shears.

I prefer my Olfa rotary cutters to my Fiskars. Better blades, and better grip.

I have Gingher and Fiskars, and by far, I definitely grab for the Gingher scissors more!

Mundial's and Gingers. You can also have your shears sharpened. They set up dates when the scissors guy comes in to my local Joanns. I'd ask about it at your local fabric store.
