    Check with the company who made them, some will sharpen them for you for a small fee. Some fabric stores also bring in some one to sharpen them for you.

    if you have a joannes close sometimes they have scissor sharpening clinics. or a sewing machine dealer/ or lqs. or check with a local guild and ask where they go.

    Ask your local barber or hair stylist who sharpens their scissors.
