I shared with you that my favorite scissors broke. I tried two other pair of scissors but neither of them felt the same despite them both being similar size. The one pair were Singer scissors. They were embroidery scissors too.

However, the blades are thicker on this pair. I wouldn’t be able to do fine trimming with them the same way. As well they just didn’t feel the same in my hand. I found another smaller pair of embroidery scissors. Not a brand name this time, but the blades are nice and narrow. However, they’re only about 3″ long. The scissors I had were 5″, and again, they just don’t feel the same in my hand.

I tried doing a Google image search for them using the broken pair, but it didn’t turn up anything hopeful.

I decided it was time to search on ebay. It was then I remembered my MIL had spent years in Germany and loved Henckel brand everything. She’d bought me my Henckel knives when we got married. I still have those knives 33 years later.

That gave me a starting point. The first scissors I found were close, but not quite a match. The handles didn’t look quite the same on this pair. At this point I was so thankful I’d taken a photo. So I kept looking. And I found them. 

Same make, and same model number even. But I know these ones are the same as the ones my MIL had given me. These ones will feel right in my hand.

The only downside to all of this is it’s going to take over a month to get them. They’re coming from Japan. I’ll be a happy sewer again when I get them!

Happy creating, and my your favorite scissors never break!
