****Giveaway Closed****
This is a tale of two scissors. I was asked by dear sweet Kelly to participate in a blog hop and when I found out it was for Famore Cutlery - I was all in. I had the choice of what scissors I wanted to review and what else would I choose? Well, of course curved quilting scissors. The deal is, I have been using my curved scissors from my manicure set. It wasn't until I tried the Famore 4" curved scissors that I realized I haven't had a good pair of scissors. I was dealing with thread shredding and I could not get as close to the thread start and stop point. What did I expect? I was using the same scissors to cut my baby's fingernails.
The curved shape is ideal for cutting super close. These little babies are sharp - no thread shredding here. They cut through thread like butter and I have had so much fun having a real pair of scissors to use.
Another look at the thread/scissor closeness. What I love about the curved scissor is how I don't have to worry about poking into my quilts - that's a big deal for me.
The points are nice on these scissors as well because I can take out stitches when I make a mistake. All in all - I love these scissors. No complaints here and they are only $12.00 - so inexpensive for an awesome pair of scissors that are perfect for the quilter!
I have one more pair of these lovely little scissors to give away - you will love them! All you have to do is leave a comment telling why you need them more than anyone else and you are entered into my little giveaway!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 247 of 247I need them more than anyone else because I ain't got me no good cuttin' utensils...sad, I know right? Have sympathy for my poor sewin' soul-won't ya?
I don`t have scissors like them yet.
I could sure us a pair of these
First off I need to say, Wow!! to the machine quilting in the sashing! I was so amazed by it I kept looking at the quilting in all the pictures and then I went back and read about those amazing scissors and looked at them in the pics. I have recently started delving into machine quilting and they look like the perfect little to tool to have handy! Count me in please!
I need these scissors because I currently use the baby nail scissors I received as a gift 26 years ago when my elder son was born.
Wow, these look like they'd be great for use with my embroidery machine too. BTW, your quilting is exquisite!
I would like a pair of scissors. Thanks for giveaway!
A great pair of scissors makes all the difference...would love to win these! Lisa in Texas
What handy scissors!
These sound great, I just use a cheapy nipper, so I do need them!
These sound wonderful - no more tiny mistake cuts in my quilts. Yup, I need them! ~Jeanne
I need these. thanks for the chance
I am sure I make more goofs than anyone else and I know these scissors would help my psyche when I am redoing. Help!

These I could really use! I need a new pair of curved scissors!
Funny, I thought I was the only one using my manicure scissors. Please count me in! I could use a great pair of little scissors! Thanks.
I don't think a person can ever have too many sewing scissors. Thanks for the chance to win!
What a wonderful tool! Thanks for the chance at a giveaway
I just failed to comply with one of the cardinal rules of quilting....... CHECK YOUR TENSION UNDER THE QUILT. I just spent two days ripping out the quilting on an entire quilt because of the random areas of poor stitch quality. Stupid stupid stupid. Will NOT make that mistake again. Having a sharp pair of scissors that hasn't been used by a child to cut through wire (argh), would be wonderful!! New scissors are such a fabulous indulgance we don't invest in often enough.
After the trouble I've had snipping threads, these look like a great solutions (why didn't I think of using curved scissors!)
I have also been known to use manicure scissors to snip threads...or my seam ripper... or haircutting scissors... or my teeth! For the sake of my teeth, I need these little scissors ;)
Famore little scissors show a necessary use for sewers & quilters.
I would love to win the scissors. Thanks for the chance
My notion dept is dismal. I only have one pair of orange handled scissors that I have to use in the garden, too. If I won these scissors, they would not go near the garden and my sewing would come out so much better.
Those scissors look great but as usual I am mesmerized by your amazing quilting!
I've never used curved scissors, but I did snip one of my own quilts on my longarm the other day using the cruddy scissors I have. :( Thanks for telling us all about these babies!
I'm almost as obsessed about sewing scissors as I am about fabric!! lol Those look nifty!
Curved scissors! Wow what a concept. All my scissors are straight. They would help with cutting threads without snipping the fabric. I loved the stitching on your quilt. It looks beautiful!
I need these scissors more than anyone else because I'm a new quilter AND a perfectionist. You can imagine the anguish that combination can cause. Great tools will help, for sure!
ghee these look just perfect for triming the loose threads..... thanks for letting us know they are out there and the chance to win them as well
Oh don't we all lust over sharp scissors all our own that no one else will touch or use for PAPER!
I'd love to win these little beauties....gives me ideas about what to purchase for gift giving next Christmas too :0)
thanks for the chance to win and Happy Sewing
Sharp scissors for embroidery are essential!
They look fab, so many small scissors are pretty much worse than useless....love the sound of these and thanks for the chance to enter :)
I want these scissors because, once again, all my sharp nipping scissors have disappeared from my sewing studio. I have to devise a way to chain them down yet be able to use them. Honestly, Steve borrows my scissors and ruins them.
Hopefully, I'm not too late... I love my curved scissors...actually, I LOVE all my scissors! I especially love the small designer ones that gingher puts out. Every month they have a different design and give it a cute little name. I think I own 4 pairs and LOVE every one. That doesn't include the 3 other pairs of just cute scissors I picked up in different fabric stores!
I am loving this blog hop! You all did such a fabulous job at showcasing your products!!! These scissors look awesome! I have recently started quilting again and am in dire need of some GREAT tools :)
I've never had curved scissors in my sewing room before.
It isn't about needing right, it's about wanting. These look like great ones to take on a car trip.
I need these scissors because they sound perfect for all my quilting, cross-stitch and knitting needs. I would like to have a pair with every project so that I am not hunting for a pair constantly but pension budget just does not allow for that.
I need them because I just threw away two pairs of curved scissors because they were so dull they wouldn't even cut a thread... They just kept slipping past the thread do no damage at all so I angrily tossed them in the trash can.
Wow - there are 241 comments before mine. Why should I deserve them more than all these other folks? Maybe because I am thread-cutting challenged - I have a bit of a problem with double vision and sometimes getting those threads clipped right at the fabric is a wee bit tricky for me. Sounds like these scissors may be just the ticket!
Would be so perfect for all my needs, sewing/quilting/needlework, I hope I win!
I need them more than anyone else! I am a new quilter and trying very hard to made nice projects. its just hwat I need
I really need to have a sharp curved pair scissors for trimming close to stitchins lines so I don't cut the tread..And they are cute..
I didn't know I needed them until I saw them on your post, but they would be perfect for my sewing projects. Great stuff!

I left my best pair of little scissors at my sister's and they were lost forever! I loved those little things as I have never found another pair that were that good nor sharp!
I need those scissors as no one around me for some distance carries that brand. Hope I win. Thanks for the giveaway.
