Gingher Dressmaker's Fabric Scissors - 8" Stainless Steel Shears - Sharp Knife Edge Fabric Scissors with Protective Sheath - Christmas Stocking Stuffers for Adults

Product Information

Skilled technicians use a centuries-old method to hot-drop forge scissors and shears from high carbon cutlery steel. Key grinding and polishing give flawless appearance and sharpness, while hand-tuned tension points ensure longevity and high performance. Investing in good quality tools is an investment in making your work and life easier, no matter whether it is your profession, a necessity, or a hobby. Get scissors that feel good in your hands when in use. Don’t scrimp on sharpening and care, either. Take them to a professional, especially if they have micro-serrations on the edge, as with some newer scissors. If you’re looking for the best left handed sewing scissors or the perfect sewing scissors for arthritis, look no further than the Fiskars Titanium Easy Action Scissors. Fully designed with comfort and ergonomics in mind, these scissors have actually won awards for their design, being honored with the ‘Ease-of-Use Commendation’ by the Arthritis Foundation. This may not be news to some sewing enthusiasts but Gingher was bought out several years ago. Before that buyout, their scissors were said to be made in Brazil, Italy, and Germany but after the buyout, their scissors are made in Italy and Taiwan. Elegant gold handles are bent for greater comfort and permit effortless clean cutting on a horizontal surface.

A good pair of scissors should last you many years, and can even be resharpened later on, so it may be better to spend now for a nice set, than to buy a budget pair and only have to replace them within a few years like mine.Next up, we had the Gingher 8-Inch Knife Edge Dressmaker’s Shears. These high-quality shears are perfect for dressmaking, featuring a bent handle design for easier cutting. Plus, the bent handle design helps you hold materials flat and in place for the smoothest and most precise cuts. Common question: Am I a total player if I own both scissors and shears? Not at all. You’re smart. Scissors and shears have some major differences that make them both essential for your sewing toolkit. At the very top of our list, we have the Kai 7250 10 Inch Professional Shears. Easily the best professional sewing scissors money can buy right now, these scissors work like a dream, with a satisfying cutting action and immensely strong blades that can slice through any fabric or material you happen to be working with. Keep in mind that the company warranty doesn’t cover adjustment so if you do not want to do it or don’t know how to take the scissors to an experienced repair shop and let them handle the duty. Who Sells Fiskars Scissors? A big factor in determining the quality of any pair of sewing scissors is the sharpness of the blades and the material they’re made from. High quality materials like carbon stainless steel, as seen in the Kai 7250 10 Inch Professional Shears, provide sharper and stronger scissors for smooth, precise cuts in even the toughest of fabrics. Comfortable grip

Where Gingher beats the Kai is in price. The former brand is a little less expensive than the latter brand. If you like a heavier scissor to work with, and not all hands can handle them, then you would want Ginghers to be in your sewing drawer. That brand is heavier than the Kai.When it comes to sewing scissors, the top of the range can be very pricey indeed – designer limited edition scissors no less! Periodically wipe the inside blade surfaces to keep them free of lint; add a small drop of household oil at the assembly point to maintain smooth cutting action. Gingher puts out a small line of pinking shears which one reviewer said Fiskars may not be doing so that makes the comparison more difficult. The two companies are given different styles to make and comparison is not really that fair. Applique scissors are also small, and they come equipped with a curved blade that easily slips between layers of fabric when cutting appliques or trimming seams to ensure you are cutting the right layer in exactly the right place. What Makes a Good Pair of Sewing Scissors? The ergonomic design of these electric scissors also makes them a nice option for those with arthritis or those who suffer from hand strains or fatigue easily. The cordless design and removable rechargeable battery add even more appeal to this model, but the fact that you do have to recharge the battery every 1-2 hours can become a little frustrating.
