Selected “Best Holiday Choice” by Heirloom Creations employees, the 5” Gingher scissors was voted as our favorite size!
The versatility of Gingher’s 5” sewing and craft scissors makes them a favorite with quilters, embroidery and sewing enthusiasts. The knife edge can cut through layers of material, clip curves and notches, and cut buttonholes. The handsome, double-plated chrome-over-nickel finish is durable, and the scissors come with a fitted leather sheath for storage. (Did you know that even Santa keeps a pair of 5” Gingher scissors at his work table?)
Most people own two sizes off scissors: a pair of traditional 7” or 8” sheers and a small 3” to 4” pair of scissors for trimming small threads. Not having a medium sized pair of scissors sometimes force you to use the small scissors to cut through more layers than it should. For other projects the larger pair is too bulky to work through tight areas. This is when the 5” scissors becomes the Perfect Size – your new favorite size!
I used this perfect size scissor when cutting out the shoes featured in my “Kickin’ It Early” miniature quilt series. What a difference it made when cutting around those strappy high-heeled shoes!
