Next question: Sewing scissors! [View all]

What do you all recommend for sewing shears or fabric scissors? I actually bought some at JoAnne's, but they're awful. Just cutting through two thicknesses of cotton is exhausting and frustrating.

Any suggestions for scissors that are affordable and sharp? Preferably available online, and preferably not too expensive? (Preferably not tasty to dogs?)

I have some almost decent small ones, but really need shears for cutting patterns.

Thanks in advance!
