while the designs were stitching I would try to sharpen a pair of old scissors that did not want to cut anymore. I was thrilled with the results. Then I jumped up from my chair, and looked like a whirlwind as I ran around the house collecting many pairs of old scissors to sharpen. Haha!! I did not understand what you were saying about old needles. You saved me alot of money. Now I do not have to pay anyone to sharpen my scissors, or keep buying new ones. Thank you again very much. H&*.

TTT for all cuties that still don't know. Save a lot of money by reading the post under this link.

iris2006, Thanks for the extra help for others to learn. H&*

Sally, I am so amazed at you - really girl - to just jump up and go for it - isn't it great? You don't even need a scissor sharpening person. You must be careful - when you first do that with your scissors, however. Take care and enjoy your new tool and the great thing is - it doesn't have to be right out of the box, either. *4U

I will have to try this. Sounds like you were so excited that I imagined you "running with scissors" to get them all and sharpen them. Ha! Ha! Thanks for sharing this.
