I am hooked on gingher scissors not only the designer collection of which I have about six pairs, some embroidery and some sewing shears and several other pairs of ginghers, my latest obsession is a pair of Sarah shears I am desperately wanting. Seeing I am not the only obsessor of these beautiful and great quality scissors I have all but hit the "add to cart" button to purchase my next pair and now I can justify to myself and my sister and quilting friends I am making a great investment. Well at least you all may believe me. I am a total fan.

I'm so glad you made a list and put the photos up too. I love, love, love my only pair of Gingher Designer scissors, 4" Sonia. I only discovered them recently! I thought I wanted a 5" pair and put it on my Christmas wish-list, but was given an undesigner pair, which I didn't like at all (and returned). Too clunky. The 4" have very sharp points, and the 5" was rounder. What size do you prefer? Perhaps the undesigner 5" ones are different shape than the designer ones? Or are they exactly the same, just pretty? Inquiring minds want to know :) Any discussion of Gingher designer scissors would be greatly appreciated. I also heard that beginning in 2012, they are not nearly the quality, so didn't buy the ones I saw in the stores in 2012.

Your need to have the whole set of some...Hi Coni--<br /><br />Your need to have the whole set of something means you are a "completist." From Dictionary.com: Noun: An obsessive, typically indiscriminate, collector or fan of something.<br /><br />You are not the only one...I'm like this with alot of things, it's really common among book, music and movie collectors as well.<br /><br />As for the scissors you're missing, might I recommended SewBiz Fabrics (sewbizfabrics.com)? I just bought a pair of the Ashley scissors there, for a pretty reasonable price considering they were first available in 2007. <br /><br />How do you display them? I have mine just tossed in a drawer because I can't figure out a good way to show them off.<br /><br />Carol S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-78599808388272005442010-09-24T09:08:39.309-04:002010-09-24T09:08:39.309-04:00Thank you so very much for posting about the new s...Thank you so very much for posting about the new scissors at Joann's.
