Gingher G-8 8-Inch Knife-Edge Dressmaker's Shears Review

Gingher G-8 8-Inch Knife-Edge Dressmaker's Shears
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been given a pair of Gingher shears as a bridal shower gift (I made my own wedding dress) and they have been my favorites throughout the last 17 years. They are sharp right to the tips, an essential feature of the shears needed for trimming seams.
I purchased a second pair so that I'd have one to use while my originals went back to the Gingher factory for sharpening (a service they provide for a mere $7.50). I hope in time to have all Gingher shears in my sewing room!

In addition, stronger, thicker blades combined with a precision-ground knife edge ensure clean cutting all the way to the points.

I originally bought the smallest pair at a craft store for cross stitching. My husband "borrowed" them to trim his moustache. That was the last I saw of them. When I saw the set, I jumped on it right away. They are excellent for the cost.

Gingher G-6DC Double Curved Scissors, 6-Inch Review

Gingher G-6DC Double Curved Scissors, 6-Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned several pair of Gingher sewing scissors. They have always been a bit fragile - drop them and they may never work right again, like the 5" craft scissors I had to replace a few years ago. Of course, that can be said for any scissor, probably.I haven't dropped these (yet!) but just the look of them is disappointing. Oh, they're functional, but they are little, if any, better than the el cheapo pair of double curve embroidery scissors I already have. The Ginghers I've had before always looked and felt well-made and cut smooth as butter. These Ginghers aren't finished well, and do not have the expensive look and feel that I have always expected from Gingher. After I bought the cheaper pair a few years ago, I always regretted that I hadn't gone for the Ginghers. Now I find that it really didn't make much difference anyway. Try Havel instead, if they have the style of scissor you want (they had nothing comparable to these.)

I purchased these scissors for a project I was doing with a reverse applique. They worked great and cut through the knit fabric with no problem at all and they weren't too heavy in my hand, which was a big plus. They were very comfortable to use once I got the hang of the odd shape. I would recommend these scissors if you do reverse appliques, for sure.

I owned a pair of these scissors and mistakingly packed them into my carry-on luggage. Needless to say, they were confiscated by airport security. I was devastated and needed another pair, pronto! I can't live without them. These are, by far, the most precise cutting instrument on the market today. They rate as good as J.A. Henckels knives.
I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality scissor.

Mundial 705-S Specialty Forged 3 1/2" Turmspitze Embroidery Scissors, Curved Blades Review

Mundial 705-S Specialty Forged 3 1/2 Turmspitze Embroidery Scissors, Curved Blades
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Scissors are sharp and "true down the blade" meaning the blade keeps contact (you will get a cut) the entire length of the shear edge. The curved end of the blade is nice for getting under tight stitches.
Only negative is the size of the finger holes - too small for me. i have pretty large hands as it is but i've also used similar shears that have larger finger holes. Overall - very good product.

I do a lot of embroidery and a lot of applique embroidery. These scissors are ideal for light and medium weight work. I don't recommend them for heavy applique pieces or routine fabric cutting, but for what they were made for, they are excellent.
