A few months ago, I put my good sewing scissors somewhere safe. Didn't want family visiting to use them for other stuff. Can't find them. Cut to today. After working on a sewing project all weekend, using my embroidery scissors to cut large things, I decided to bite the bullet and buy another pair. As our main fabric store chain, Fabricland, is a rip off for most things, I decided to look online. Found
Gingher 8 inch Knife Edge Dressmakers scissors had the best reviews. OMG Amazon has them on sale for $13.30, they are usually $40. However, Amazon for reasons best known to themselves will not ship this item to me. I've found a pair on ebay for a bit more, hope they get here soon.
ETA: points down, dear sister helped me find them. Not cancelling order.
