I've had an opportunity to try one of Famore Cutlery's products. And to say that I was pleased is an understatement. Let me tell you why.
There are times when I need to cut fabrics for certain projects. For example, on this wall hanging, there are several layers of curvy fabrics.
I cut layer after layer just as smooth as glass.
I also have been creating some landscape quilts.
Using these scissors makes it a breeze to put together.But I was most impressed when I was cutting flannel for a pair of pajamas.
I'm sure you know how frustrating it is to feel like your scissors can hardly cut. Using these Fabric shears there was no drag or pulling while cutting through two layers of flannel. The blades are so nice and sharp, I did not feel any resistance.So the Spotlight is on the Famore 8" Bent Trimmer Fabric Shears
The makers of Famore Cutlery were kind enough to allow me to try their Fabric Shears. And they sent along another pair to give away to one of my readers.

Would love to have the chance to try these scissors. I have not heard of them before. You give a good endorsement.
It doesn't get much better than cutting fabric with a nice sharp pair of scissors!
I love your angel applique-- so pretty! And a landscape quilt is on my want-to-do list. We love the Blue Ridge Mountains and when we stay at our favorite Inn, there is a mountain range that we can see from our room.. I've always wanted to have a wall-hanging of that range. :-) Thank you for the chance to win these wonderful scissors! They look fantastic! I'll have my fingers crossed!
I bought a small pair of Famore scissors a couple of years ago when in the US and simply love them, so I'd really like to win these to cut bigger things with!
Please count me in on your drawing....looks like a nice pair for trimming many things....and I would certainly hide them from the crew here! You know how that goes!
These look great! Maybe I would do more applique if I had better scissors?
I have only recently heard of this brand. All the reviews sound amazing so of course I want to try them too. Thanks for the chance to win. Your angel looks awesome!
I am not familiar with this brand but would love to give them a try. I am always in need of a good pair of fabric shears.
I want, I want! A great pair of scissors is so important, makes a world of difference. Enjoyed seeing your blog.
My Ginghers have died, so these would be wonderful. Thank you for the opportunity to try these wonderful scissors! Hope I get lucky..
Wow a pair of scissors that doesn't come from Walmarts.I wouldn't know how to act. Thanks for the opportunity to win a new (DECENT) pair of scissors.
Beautiful work congratulations http://tearpiaocupacional.blogspot.com/
Great review! Yes, Good tools make sewing fun:) Have a great day!
Wow....how right you are if you don't have the right tools.... it makes any project very hard to do....thank you for the chance to win a great pair of scissors.
Those look lovely! It's SO frustrating when you're trying to zip along and your scissors won't cut properly....
Hello, fellow quilter. There is nothing quite as nice as a tool that does a good job, is there? And, scissors can be one of the most frustrating things I work with. Glad you've found a good pair. I'd live to give them a try. Lane
Famore shears are marvelous! I have a small pair and they are wonderful. NICE giveaway! :)
This brand of scissors is new to me. Thanks for the chance to win.
I've only heard of Famore brand this week as I have followed the blog hop. It would be nice to have a pair of their scissors especially since you recommend them.
Thank you for the opportunity to win a pair.
I love good scissors that cut like a hot knife through butter. I would not mind at all having these in my arsenal. Thanks!
What beautiful projects you are working on Jocelyn! And those scissors look absolutely great. Thanks for sharing your insights. I agree with you that we all need the right tools. I just cringe when I'm in a fabric store and a clerk recommends "craft" scissors to new quilters. Best to have a super duper pair of scissors like these Famore!

My best quilting buddy has 2 teenage boys who have used her fabric scissors for who-knows-what and they are awful! (the scissors, not the boys!) I would love to win these scissors to give to her -- and instruct her to keep them hidden or locked up or something!
Wow, I'd love to give those a try! Thanks!
These sound so good. :)
I am so happy you like the scissors by Famore. I agree with you completely, having the right tools for the job does make the process more enjoyable.
Smiles,
Kelly

Hello,
I would like to play with you, and hopefully win this nise thing. :)
Thank you!!!!
I love my gingham scissors and if these are anything better then them I need a pair. I am constantly using my scissors for special cuts. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the chance. Rather than borrow my mother's old dull dressmaker shears, I would love to win a pair of these! I want to make a twirly skirt with lace for my one year old grandniece, and need good sharp scissors. Thanks for the chance.
I would love to win these great scissors! Thanks for the chance!
SUCH A NEAT GIVEAWAY!
LOVE TO WIN THESE SCISSORS!
THANKS!
The Famore large shears would be useful for any sewing project! I'm about to make a ipod cover! Thanks for the giveaway!
What a great prize! <--hoping to be lucky...
What a nice looking pair of shears! I tend to buy the cheap ones since I know eventually somebody will use them for paper, but these I would put under lock and key FOR MY USE ONLY (did you hear that, kids?) ;)
Thank you for the chance to win these!
I had a pair of nice shears like that but dropped them...been sad every since....these do look like they cut like butter!
It looks great.I`d love play with it.Thanks for the chance.
It would be great to have a pair of high-quality, sharp shears. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful pair of shears. Would LOVE them---pick me, pick me!
I think your test of cutting flannel really showed its worth. My dad always said, "Always buy the best tool for the job. You will never be sorry".
Wow those are beautiful shears! Love your blog, I check in everyday, thanks for all the hard work and great ideas!
Everyone can use some wonderful scissors like this!!! I'd love to be included.
There is nothing like a good pair of scissors that can making sewing more enjoyable. I always seem to get scissors that cut badly loose their sharpness too fast.

Scissors in my house tend to be appropriated for tasks that e!they were not intended for when I purchased them (my husband thinks all scissors are fair game for garage duty). These would be nice to have hidden among my stash and brought out for my special us
Those scissors look like they would do great in my sewing supplies. Thanks for the giveaway
I just recently started quilting and realised quick that the wrong tool no mater how hard you used it did not do the job. Could use a new pair of scissors.

Those look like great scissors. I would love to try the Famore sewing scissors.
your comments on the fanmore shears put other scissors in the shade. would love to win the shears. thanx for the opportunity to do so.
Oh my gosh, these would be wonderful scissors for any of us that sew. I know that I really need to get new scissors...I think there are a lot of us that just use what we have and make do, largely because we would rather us our money for fabric and such, rather than tools that will make our creative lives easier, LOL. Thanks so much for a chance in this giveaway. Hugs...
These would be great scissors to have for my quilting Sometimes a rotary cutter is just not what you need. Thanks for the chance to win a pair!
I love a good pair of scissors - especially to cut fabric with :)
Thanks for the thoughtful review and photo examples - these look great.
One can never have enough scissors, and they all have different jobs. Thanks for a chance to win.
Those scissors look awesome! Good tools make the job so much easier.
Good scissors are a must! rotary cutters are "new" to the sewing world but we all started out with scissors and still reach for them.
I have many cheap dull scissors but what a treat it would be to have a sharp pair! Love to see these things demo'd so we hear from first hand experience how it works. Thanks!
I would love a pair of shears like yours. I have been using a pair of cheap orange handled scissors for everything (even gardening). I am disabled and after buying fabric there is nothing left for notions.
These scissors look great. Thank you for the chance to win a pair.
My dearly beloved shears are nearing the end of their days. I've been warned that there is only one more sharpening left in them. I'll be sorry to lose them, but it would be nice to have another pair ready to go. Thanks for the review.
New scissors, oh my! They are so shiny. They would look so good on my cutting table!
I would LOVE these scissors! To glide while cutting seems heavenly! Thanks for the giveaway chance.
