Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Scissors

While I’ve been familiar with Karen Kay Buckley’s beautiful work for years, and I had the pleasure of designing her website a few years back (and Gloderworks built it), I recently learned that she designed and improved upon micro-serrated scissors.  So in addition to her being an incredible quilt artist, a winner of many Best of Shows awards, and the Teacher of the Year award, she now adds to her resume the creator of “Perfect Scissors.”  Okay, you may think scissors; bit deal, I’ve got plenty of ’em.  However, these scissors have a fine, serrated blade that holds the fabric (or paper) in place while you cut.  This create a very clean edge with no fraying.  The they are sharp  right up to the very tip, and the handle is cushioned and very comfortable.   I had to post about the scissors because I am very happy with mine.  There are two sizes.  I have both.  Today, my husband picked up a pair to cut a label from his cloths.  He said, “Where did you get these?  They cut great.”  There you go; even he — person of who generally could care less about such things — noticed.  :)  I never thought I’d be blogging about scissors, but these babies are excellent.  For more info on them, visit Karen’s website.
