Gingher lightweight scissors are a treasure!
By Serena Smith | August 27, 2008
When I first learned to sew my cutting shears/scissors were my best friend. Especially when I invested in a quality pair of 8″ Gingher dressmaker scissors. Once I started quilting, the scissors were stashed away (except for uses here and there) and my rotary cutter was in constant use! How quick and easy it was to cut fabrics with that little round wheel!
Although a rotary cutter is fantastic and can be used in many ways, those 8″ pair of cutting shears are still valuable. Lately I have been using Gingher’s newly developed line of lightweight scissors. They contain the same Gingher quality and precision, but with molded black nylon handles. Those handles make the scissors much easier to hold in your hand and cut for a longer length of time!
You know how after cutting for a while, especially through several thicknesses of fabric, your finger and thumb starts to develop a little groove where the scissors have been? With these wonderful black handles, that little groove is totally nonexistent! Not only that, but they are much easier on your hands!
Cutting all the little ties in the fleece blanket I made last week can be a challenge to do all at once. But by using the Gingher lightweight scissors, I was finished chopping that fleece in minutes and ready to tackle three or four more blankets!
Gingher has a whole line of the lightweight version of scissors including 8″ trimmers and 4″ embroidery scissors. Give one a try and you will love it!

all my scissors are Ginghers – even my snips for the sewing machine threads. If kept sharp and away from teens and hubby they last forever.
