    My fabulous tartan scissors

    OK, so are these scissor fabulous or what?



    Gingher's been making designer scissors for a couple of years, and these turned up *on sale* at our local Joann's. Presumably no one else wanted tartan scissors, because the little ones were selling for $9 and the big ones for $17......

    So, how many of you kiltmakers out there have scissors-envy now???

    They look great, don't leave them on the cloth as you make a kilt you may lose them,.
    If you see abbreviations, initials or acronyms you do not know the Xmarks FAQ section on abbreviations may help.

    Ooohhhh, Gingher's!!! My wife won't let me near her pair. She got them as a gift many moons ago and they are still sharp. Worth the investment!!
