Great cutting ability and spring action

These scissors cut through felt and the paper pattern with no problem. I liked the spring action. It was supposed to be 5 stars, but I touched in the wrong place, and I couldn’t get back to change the 3 to a 5.

So much easier on my hands. I had 3 rag quilts to make and this allowed me to do it quickly with no discomfort.

Snips

I really like these snips. They arrived and I immediately threw them into my project bin to take to quilt camp. Used them for 3 straight days and they were handy, comfortable to use and sharp. Love them and would highly recommend them.

Love them!

I’m new to quilting and my first project is a rag quilt. I’ve been shipping with some older scissors and my hands have been screaming at me to stop. I saw these snips on one of my favorite YouTube channels, Make with Melissa, and decided to give them a try. Oh. My. Goodness! They are amazing! I finished the snipping job in record time and no hand pain! (I’m 79 and have arthritis in my hands.). I LOVE these scissors! I highly recommend them! Thank you for such a great product.

Good for light cutting, struggles with thicker layers

They cut thread and about two layers of fabric well. I use them for rag quilts. She is stiff and has trouble with all six layers.

Practical replacement.

Wore out a similar tool. Making flannel quilts with a friend.

They're ok

Just started using these snips on a rag quilt. Only half way through and I can feel that they are already losing their sharpness as sometimes the fabric bends instead of cuts. Disappointed as I expected more from this. Now having to open the seams and do one side at a time instead of both together. Not as robust as I had expected. All I can say is that they are ok but don't expect too much if you are considering buying them.
