It’s true! Every sewist eyes up these beautiful Gingher scissors, and then maybe thinks, “Next time I’ll get them. For now, my kitchen scissors will do.” This is where you, the gift giver, will reign supreme! This one purchase lasts a lifetime and makes sewing much more enjoyable. Any of these scissors will please a stitcher so much, don’t be surprised if suddenly there a plethora of sewn goods with your name on them!!

Located in North Carolina, Gingher has been the premier brand of scissors for over 50 years. The blades are forged from high carbon cutlery steel, and are then ground and polished by hand. The points, blades and tension are also hand tuned to ensure the best quality in each pair. Should the blades dull, which is bound to happen after years of use, you can send the scissors back to them for sharpening. Each pair comes in a brushed metal gift box, with a point protecting sheath.

The Gingher 8″ Dressmaker Shear is the best all purpose scissor. The bent handle makes for easy cutting along any flat surface. Perfect for working with multiple layers of fabric in long, clean cuts, this scissor is a must for garment sewers. Plus, the handle design is so pretty!

For the all around crafter, the 5″ knife edge scissor is the best. It has a strong blade that can cut through multiple layers of felt & fabric, and can even cut through leather. Small enough to trim threads in tight corners, and to fit into your on the go sewing kit.

These 4″ embroidery scissors will live right next to the sewing machine. They are invaluable throughout a sewing project for clipping all those pesky threads as you go. Tiny and portable, these keep all your needlework projects nice and tidy.

Help point your loved ones in the right direction, or treat yourself! All styles are available in the shop and online. Happy Sewing!
