Thank u so much for this video. I never knew there was a difference in scissors. I will now search for the perfect ones for me b

[@sewjourns7128]

I’m so pleased this was helpful

[@Escape10mom]

Good info!
I actually have my great grandmother's dress making shears. I don't use them though. I also have my mom's Singer Buttonhole scissors! I like my chisel for cutting out buttonholes. I really like using weights & a rotary cutter when cutting out my fabrics. I don't pin anything anymore.

[@sewjourns7128]

Thanks Terri. How wonderful to have your Grandmothers Shears!

[@kristi8220]

Great discussion about shears. My favorite brand is Kai. They are so smooth cutting and easy on my hands.

[@sewjourns7128]

[@sewjourns7128]

Thank you.

[@cair7533]

Thanks for all the info. I purchased a narrow hem foot for my sewing machine and it didn't go well for my Rhapsody blouse. Any tips? Maybe one day a tutorial? Thanks again
