Friday Give-Away – 8″ Fabric Shears
June 19th, 2009
Congratulations to last week’s winners: #15 Christine, #31 Barbara, #7 Penny and #64 Mindy. They each won one of the gorgeous appliqué patterns donated by Sisters’ Scraps Quilt Shop from last week’s give-away.
This week’s Friday Give-Away is a pair of 8″ Fabric Shears donated by the Simplicity Creative Group.
I was very fortunate to have Simplicity as my booth neighbour at Spring Market and to meet Michele Muska there. We were able to chat at various times throughout the weekend. I am grateful for her ideas, wisdom, support and generosity.

The Give-Away
The 8″ Fabric Sheers are your traditional heirloom quality fabric shear. Hand polished both inside and out, the quality of razor sharp edges will last for years.
Features & Benefits of Simplicity’s Scissors
- High quality razor sharp edges make easy, clean precise cuts
- Power-lock Screw Design – designed to keep screw tight with extended use
- Steel is tempered prior to manufacture; the scissor is constantly being hardened during use and maintains a sharper edge for a longer time
- Forged from a minimum of 420-J2 German grade stainless steel which provides superior:
- Longevity
- Durability
- Functionality
- Superior rust and corrosion resistance – finish prevents rust for up to 100 years, regardless of amount of daily use
- Dedicated sharpening and repair service center – exclusively for Simplicity scissor owners
- Lifetime Guarantee against any manufacturer defect
- This collection has been selected because it addresses the NEEDS of sewing, crafting embroidery, quilting

Great offer! Count me in!
What a great offer! Thanks for the chance!
Those would be wonderful….don’t have quality scissors yet!
These scissors are lovely. My husband ALWAYS asks me before picking up a pair of scissors, “Are these ok to cut [something other than fabric]?” :) I gave my grandmother a beautiful new pair of shears for Christmas one year, which she then used to cut open any gifts that had come taped up or in a cardboard box. Gah! A new pair of scissors is always appreciated in MY house :) Thanks for the chance at the giveaway.
Would love to win these!
How nice of Simplicity (Michelle) to share these with us. I would love to use these…
I’m trying to get into more garment making and could definitely put these shears to good use! :o)
Those look like fabulous shears. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Alighty! I love giveaways! Drop my name in the pot
I just about kill myself every time I have to go cut out fabric. I think the sharpest pair of “fabric shears” I own are child’s safety scissors.
Thanks for all the great information and pictures on your site. I really enjoy learning about new techniques, designs, and designers. You are the best!
Wow, lovely shears and how nice it would be to have a new pair! What more can I say, except I’m a faithful follower of your blog and I love all the great ideas and information and, not to mention, the other bloggers who are around here too. Thanks, just drop my name in the hat and I’ll hope for the very best!

Nice giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
My dear husband wrecked my good shears. I need a new pair.
I can always remember, as a child, having to ask if the scissors I wanted to use were the “good” scissors or not. The only way to cut fabric is with quality scissors!
oh id love to win them, am fed up with my little ones stealing my scissors for *make and do* and blunting them
great offer i’d would love to win
I’m new to this…, hope I’m joining the giveaway opportunity for a new pair of shears : ) Can you believe I’ve sewing for 40 years and still loving it! I’m deaf so I love the opportunity to join quilting bloggers where I don’t have to hear anything!!

I am for ever looking for my one pair of scissors. They never seem to be in the right place. Another pair of scissors would be awesome.
Wow, great scissors. Mine are forever hiding from me. A new pair would be great.
