The sewing committee has scissors specifically for use with fabric, these scissors are being used for other purposes, blunting them and making it impossible to cut fabric. We’d like for all members to have access to a good pair of fabric scissors so no one needs to struggle to cut fabric at the space.
We think this might be because everyone loves how sharp they are. Solution: sharpen ALL the scissors.
The problem is, we don’t know how to do this ourselves, and would need to pay for it to happen, unless someone in the space knows how this might be achieved.
Is anyone familiar with blade sharpening that could help us get the scissors in the space sorted out? You’d have support from the sewing committee, and if it’s easy, might just need to show us how to do it so we can do it ourselves in the future.
Perhaps instead of a drill doctor, machine shop and sewing could tool trade for a combination drill/scissor sharpener? Either in jig or unitasker format.
Blunt kitchen knives is a pet peeve of mine, so i bought a Lansky sharpening tool.
I have had some success with knives, though the mounting clamp I bought for it had the wrong threaded bolt to mount it and I haven’t fixed it yet.
It may work for scissors… https://www.amazon.ca/Lansky-LKCLX-Deluxe-Sharpening-Kit/dp/B000B8IEA4
I asked at Dressew once, and they don’t do it, but they did suggest that a kitchen knife store might do it. (I think they mentioned one specifically, but I don’t remember what it was.)
