That's great!

I have been quilting patchwork for a few years now and suffer from pain in my arms and bruises on my fingers. In fact, the pain of trimming the edges of my crafts made me discontinue them for about a year and a half! Then one day I stumbled across these quilting scissors and thought I was in heaven! the spring is open, so your hands just need to close). So I had to force them open and then cut, force them open, then cut, repeat, repeat. So I sighed in frustration and my husband asked me what was going on. I showed him that they worked and opened as intended. He took them, examined them, and then put them away. Well, my Mr. Fix It found a solution: he put a tiny dab of WD-40 on the tip of the bolt (you need to dab under the tip of the bolt on the metal part when the scissors are in the open position). and then he opened and closed the scissors several times until the WD-40 penetrated the bolt. He then used a paper towel to soak up the excess lube and tested the scissors on scraps of fabric and they worked like a charm! This way I finished 6 more elements I was waiting to be cut out and they kept working with no problems! And even now, after a month and numerous projects, they still work like a dream! I've since had him lubricate all my scissor bolts and now they all work better than before! So try them out and if the screw starts to stick but dot a dot sized dab of WD-40 as close to the screw as you can and work it out then use a cloth to wipe away the excess cut off some scraps of cloth, to make it Make sure the fat is fully absorbed and working!

Pros
  • Ideal for cutting a variety of materials including denim, silk and layered fabrics.
