How Do You Choose A Good Pair Of Sewing Scissors?
• Plan to buy sewing scissors as an investment. If you take good care of them, good scissors will last a long time, so it’s best to make the investment up front rather than going through many pairs of poor scissors [1]. • If money is tight, save up for a while and watch for sales and discounts on good scissors. You can select your scissors for quality and still pay a reasonable price. • Go to a fabric or quilting store to buy your sewing scissors, not a drugstore or office supply place. Ask the opinion of the proprietors. People who run such stores often do a great deal of sewing themselves and in any case spend a lot of time cutting fabric. • Look for recommendations from others who do a lot of sewing. If you don’t know anybody who sews personally, ask them, and ask if you can try their favorite scissors. Also look on forums online. • Ask to hold the scissors and, if possible, try them out on a scrap of fabric. Make sure they are comfortable in your hand and you have good control. Doe
