    I don't have enough fingers and toes to count them all.

    Let's see - 3 or 4 pairs of kid scissiors for snipping ends (cheap, sharp enough), one pinking, one Gingher fabric shears, one cheap paper shears (for paper piecing), two that were gifted to me. So at least 8 in my sewing room(s).

    I have one and it's maybe 15 years old. I want to get a new one but don't know what to get.

    No Way!!! Get the light weight shears that gingher has for about $20.00 or $10 if you have a 50% off coupon at Joann's

    Let's see, I have about 20 pairs of Gingher embroidery scissors, 2 pairs of Gingher dressmaker shears, 3 pairs of Dovos, and a beautiful pair of Maison Sajou embroidery scissors I got to put in a needlebook/embroidery case once I finished embroidering it.

    I am a scissor whore. I have to have one in each embroidery project I in the works. I'm bad, I know.

    You are all scissor junkies.....I don't know how many I have and I probably couldn't find them all if I tried. There seems to be one pair in each UFO stack.....I don't know why....
