Electric Singer sewing scissors

Has anyone tried them out yet?

2 pairs for $19.95 sounds a bit too inexpensive for me Smile

If they are cheaper than a good old pair of fabric scissors I can't see them lasting.

I have invited them to send me one to review Very Happy

I have tried them and donated them to the Sally Ann. I much prefer my good old sewing scissors

I think they are good for people with arthritis. I just don't know how long they would last.

What if you need replacement blades?

I have used the electric scissor but the cord was cumbersome.
I have been using battery operated scissors for years, I can not use regular scissors for long periods of time because of carple problems.
They have their limitations, only 2 to 4 layers of material, and you need to practice for control. Several models have 2 speeds, the lower for heavier fabric, or for learning. They cut extremely fast and always a clean cut. Sheer fabric is a little tricky. The control is the big thing.
Black and Decker has a nice battery operated scissor. You can find battery operated scissors at the dollar stores, they last for a while, I buy a few so when they get dull I just throw them away. Usually they do not have replacement blades.

This is the first time I have posted anything so please excuse me if I don't respond correctly.
