I recently used it on curves too... It cuts just as smooth you just need to go a little slower to make sure you don't cut off the whole curve. It cuts so fast and smooth that it's all in how you maneuver it. Good luck on the giveaway!
Thank you for this reply. Was going to askinrhe same question. Nice video
I loved the cutting tool. I recently began to cut thru my extensive collection of fabric after seeing on of your quilt-alongs. I had been collecting fabric for years, just waiting for the time when I could sew, then you showed me how to get started. I now have 6 quilts ready to be be finished. I am much much more relaxed about my "UFO' as I practice free motion quilting and getting ready. This tool would be great for my applique projects. Thanks for all you do for us newbies.
I am new to the crafting and sewing world. I am right handed, i have a old injury in the palm of my hand. When i went to thehospital the cut was very deep. the Dr.sewed it up, i lost the feeling in my thumb and index finger. so whenim cutting things i have to stop because it starts to ache.so this would be a great product for me. Thank you for taking the time to share your talents with us here in the crafting and sewing world.
I have been working on starting a quilting and embroidery business. Making totes, quilts, pillows, and baton cases are a specialty. We have 120 dish towels on the way which need cut in half, gathered and sewed with material for our first craft fair. I am 61 and have a difficult time cutting and use the roller cutter and am disabled in my shoulders and hands from arthritis due to an accident. This would be a wonderful tool for me in my new business. Thank you for the fun on your site.
I don't deserve this any more than any one else who has written, but think this would be great for all of us who love to sew and craft but have a problem with arthritis! Thank you for the chance, this is always fun.
These scissors look awesome! Wonderful demo. I have 5 no-sew fleece blankets to make for grandchildren and these scissors would save my 60-year old hands a lot of aching!!! keep up the good work!
I would love to have a pair of the Simplicity's Electric Scissors! I love to knit and spin, I crochet, and now my 9 year old has been bitten by the fashion bug so I am sewing. I am trying to build up a craft room where Adeline and I can make anything we can dream up and these would be a great addition. Anything that makes it fun helps to keep both of us from getting discouraged when it gets difficult or confusing. I want to pass down the wonderful skills that were given to me by my mother.
Wow what a blessing these scissors would be; I've given up sewing & crafting that required any scissor cutting due to increase arthritis in every joint in my hands, and spine. But zipping quickly through the cutting step would be wonderful!
The electric scissors reminds me of my husbands power tools, if I win, I would probably understand why he loves them so much. I do lots of crafts such as: sewing, quilting, quilling and I love to try out anything new . It would help me out alot. THANK YOU Vanessa for all your wonderful tutorials. it as help me out alot!
OMG! This will make my life so simple. I have a problem with my hands and grabing and cutting had been difficult. But everyone deserved to win this fabulous scissors. Thanks for showing us this wonderful product!
I'm expecting my first child and I've recently got into the hobby of crafting many different projects for my babygirl and things we need around the house. These scissors would be amazing to have to help me get started with all these craft projects I'm starting!
Ages ago I had a pair of electric scissors that were a complete disaster. These appear to be nothing like what my idea of what electric scissors are. These look wonderful and would be a great addition to my crafting supplies. I work in all sorts of mediums; what a versatile product!! I would love it!! Be especially blessed, Kathy
This is an awesome product. There are some projects that I have never been able to do, due to having a birth defect that causes weakness in my legs, feet, arms, and hands. This product would open a whole new scope of crafting for me. Thanks for the chance in winning one.
Loved the scissors and I would like to give it my mom in India who is so fond of crafts and she keeps sending handmade gifts to my kids. Im sure she would put it to good use.
I work with fabric and cardboard a lot and this would save my hands from a lot of aching. Love your videos!
Hi, the Electric scissors will come in handy not only for me, but for my kids. My son is quilting with me and my daughter decorates cakes. To save money, she cuts her cake boards out of cardboard boxes. We are on a tight budget and something like this will help save money by not wasting pieces of fabric or cardboard for that matter. I just got a donation of 50 pairs of jeans and this would be fabulous to cut them and recycle them. Thanks for another wonderful video, I hope we win! -Lynn
I do all sorts of crafts with several different materials and these scissors would be a great addition to my craft tools. Thank you for all your helpful videos
I am new at making quilts and these would make life a lot easier for me. Aches and pains would cease to exist when cutting with these scissors! I "simply" love them :)
Oh wow! that will cut my work in half and my wrist will not need a break between jobs. Thanks for the opportunity!
I'm in love with this scissors! I'm a student and always crafting around, cutting differnet matterials! A pair of this awesome scissors would make my life easier!!!!!
Wow Vanessa you are just a wealth of information. So much can be learned from watching you. I love it, I actually have tried to get several of the items that you have demoed and this is another one to add to my list of items to watch for when they go on sale if I don't win. I have trouble cutting things because of a torn rotator cuff and this would be so helpful. I am so blessed that I have a local quilt shop that helps me cut my big items to a manageable size. Thanks for the chance.
Those scissors are so amazing! I could totally use them to cut cardboard to make 'bolts' to wrap my fabric on for easier storage :)
I'm sitting in my hand surgeons office as I watch this. I have severe nerve issues with my hands that cause pain when I try to do small tasks, one of which is use scissors. I would Love to give these a try.
Vanessa, your breezy, easy style of communicating makes it easy to assimilate all information on the products you test out. I do feel I qualify for these sissors as I would use them to create upcycled products i.e. Cutting recycled plastic into ornaments. I'm an artist and have several characters sketched out, just need Simplicity's remarkable rechargeable sissors to cut them out!
These electric scissors seem to be greatly improved from the old electric scissors of yesteryear. I was skeptical before I watched the video and thought that I would never use these. You sold me and I want these scissors.
As always you bring to us another product that you show us how to use and exactly what it can do. i wouldn't mind winning this because i've had some strokes and my hand is not always strong to cut by rotery cutter. This looks so very easy and very simple to operate. Thank you and Simplicity for bringing sewing imaginations to new heights.
This is super simple and practical. I live in Slovenija, which is quite small country . There are not so many shops, where you could buy tools for crafting. I love sewing and any other crafting,And because I have 4 children (14years, twins 6years and 7months) this scissors would come realy handy to me.
These scissors are just awesome! I am a crafter and found your website by mistake looking for craft sites through google. Thank goodness! I check your site weekly for posts. I make a lot of baby items like boutique burp cloths, changing pads, I sew diaper bags, make diaper cakes, and do embroidered onesies. So these scissors would come in handy. I am praying for a craft cottage like the one you finished this year. But that will come later, it would be great to win the scissors for now.
Those are so awesome! Looks like they are so easy to use and would be a life changer for me. It would mean no more sores on my fingers anymore. Thanks Simplicity and thanks Crafty Gemini for the chance to win a pair.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoy my videos. Good luck on the giveaway!
I don't deserve these scissors anymore than anyone else, but I would love to have a pair! Maybe since they look so easy to use and look like they'd be much more fun to cut with, I'd get a lot more of my projects done!
Love our videos. Your review of these scissors was great!
Hi Vanessa! Yet another fantastic product review! Thank you so much! I would love to give these electric scissors a try, but after reading most of the comments already left...I feel they should go to someone that has trouble with their hands. I am not yet at that stage & would love the scissors to go to someone worthy...so that they can continue joying there craft! I'm going to save my pennies & purchase a pair down the road. Thank you again for a great review & for giving away such a great item
Great scissors!At my age is dificult to use regular scissors because of arthritis.Thanks to Simplicity for this scissors! and to Vanessa for this good video!
Oh wow very nice!
I need this because I am getting old (62) & cleaned homes for over 30 years. I know my hands are so used up =)
I like the right & left handed deal. Sweat!
BIG HUGS
Those are awesome! Time! Something we all need. I think they would save me time on all my sewing and scrapbooking. I recently gave birth to my third child and although they're all a blessing time is not on my side!
i have been sewing since i was 10 and i LOVE it and i am very crafty with making earrings and type of stuff like that. the problem is. is that since they're are 10 people living at my house all the scissors are always gone and i can't ever find them! So i often have to wait for another day to finish my project. i would really really enjoy having this Bc it would work great for my sewing blankets for cutting out the letters and stuff! IT WOULD BE AWESOME! thanks so much vanessa for doing this!:)
WOW i love it i bought a sewing machine last two weeks and you inspire me with your Zippered Box Pouch Tutorial video and because it i made one but without zipper because i don't have one and all my family love it ,they orderings me because of you this was the first important reason to subscribes you and make you my role model i swear this is from my heart ... i loves sewing a lot ... if i win thank god cuz it will help me a lot i just want to thank you very much e
My grandchildren spend their afternoons with me. Their teachers assign many projects for them to complete, and scissors like these would be super to have to cut the variety of materials they need to cut. It would eliminate our having to have many different scissors out on the craft table!
I CAN NOT USE A PAIR OF SCISSOR ANYMORE, AND I TRY EVERYTHING, NEVER KNEW THEY WERE ELECTRIC ONES, NOW I AM ALL EXCITED, THANKS FOR SHARING
Hi Vanessa, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all your hard work. These electric scissors would be very nice for my over 40 arthritic hands. I quilt/sew/craft every day!!
Thank you. Glad you enjoy them. Good luck!
It wouldn't let me post anymore so had to break in 2. I was diagnosed in September with Multiple Myloma, cancer of plasma so I stepped down from job but needed something to occupy my time. Thanks for teaching me to sew. You have no idea how much you have helped me!
Great Demo, as always, I learn lots of new things! With arthritis in my 70 year old hands, these Simplicity Electric Scissors are just what the doctor ordered, and seeing the demo with fleece....was perfect! Thanks, and by the way, your kids sure are growing fast!
That looks like a cool gadget! I am working on a quiet book for my son's first birthday and I think this could really come in handy!
That was the most amazing pair of scissors I have seen in a long time. I have 3 other pairs of ones the promise to do the same things but all of the blade broke the second I tried to use them on anything like leather or denim. I work with vinyl and leather mostly and its costing me a small fortune in scissors. even if I didn't win the free pair I would still need to buy this one!! Thanks for the update!!
These scissors would be great for my crafts! I love to save money and make my own things! I recently took up sewing since my husband and I bought our first house! I love to decorate and make different things for my home and these would help make my projects that much easier!!! Thanks for your great videos and thinking of your fans!
I've been really getting into crafting in the year or so and I would love this! I really can't afford to buy higher end tools and this would help a TON with cutting through the denim when I recycle them for projects.
I love DIY projects and always dread cutting through thicker material like cardboard. Every time I try to cut through thick cardboard, the edges never come out straight and always end up bent. I'd love to win this giveaway so I could continue writhing on DIY projects that involve different materials with different textures/thickness. Thank you for reviewing great products and I love forward to watching more of your sewing,gardening, and cooking tutorials.
Vanessa this scissors sounds great! I would love to get one, I have joint arthritis and this would help me a lot with all the cutting I do. Love your tutorials you are a awesome teacher!
I wouldn't say I Deserve but I'd lie to win the simplicity electric scissors simply because I do a lot of cardboard crafting with my daughter for decor and I've actually resorted to only using kitchen scissors since I've managed to break every other pair of crafting scissor suitable for cardboard. I feel like this is a safe alternative to a razor blade especially when crafting with a seven year old. Thanks for reviewing these so that even if I don't win I can put them on my wish list!!
It is too bad that there is only one, it looks like so many people could use them. I have lupus and fibromalgia so I am always hurting at one place or another. Scrapbooking, painting and sewing are my favorite pastimes to help keep my mind off my problems and pain. I think these scissors are really awesome and will be a blessing to many people. Your simple drawstring bag tutorial was the first thing I made and I look forward to learning more from you. Good luck to everyone!
I want these scissors because, i guess, they will make craft a joy more than it is, thank you for the opportunity
I love to sew and craft, this would be great for all of that, I have carpal tunnel. Alot of times I have to leave cutting, and do it is sessions.......love your videos.
Love it! It would reduce the carpal tunnel pain and allow me to finish many more sewing projects in one sitting!
Many of the other commenters 'deserve' these scissors, if I'm to be completely honest. Why I would want to win them is easier - they are easy to use, reduce strain on hand/wrist muscles, and overall speed up craft projects. I really enjoyed your review, very thorough.
my best friend is starting her own sewing and crafting business and this scissors would make a perfect gift hor her.
What would I do without u.. I have learned to sew from u.. All my friends think I am so smart..lets not tell them our little secretary.. Thank u for all u do..... I would love the scissors.. Vicki
I would love to win. Due to arthritis I have a hard time cutting with traditional scissors. I had no idea there was something out there that worked so beautifully. Thank you for reviewing this product.
I´m starting a career on textile design, so I´ll be doing great stuff with those scissors, my outfits and other stuff I do are gonna be easier and leaner with that amazing device
The part I hate the most about sewing is cutting fabric! This would be so helpful.
Sorry, I didn't finish my comment. I've had 3 surgeries on my hand in January. With therapy I have gotten the feeling and most of the use of that hand back, but I have pain and as yet have trouble cutting among my limitations. I have sewn, crafted, quilted and so on for most of my life and now I can no longer make a living in that field but these scissors would help me to be able to sew for my grandchildren winning these will help get my Christmas gifts done in time, pain free.
We do tons of craft at our house. These would be great. We all know how hard it is on the hands trying to cut tough things with regular scissors.
Thank you and simplicity for having this giveaway!! Good luck to whoever wins them :)
I would love these scissors! I am a beginner at sewing and I'm getting frustrated with my scissors. I cut crooked and my edges are jagged which makes me sew the seams crooket too. Thanks for your great videos, very helpful for beginner like me :)
Okay, I love this because I have some christmas presents to finish that will be going to Puerto Rico to my grandkids this year. I really need these because as you said it's hard to hold your fabric up to cut and keep a straight line and going through layers. Thanks, Ann
¿hace solo cortes rectos? pues me parece espectacular
THose are awesome. Boy would that save my hands. Although I use the rotary cutter most of the time for fabric.. those scissors would really be a blessing. I like the idea with the denim.. could have used them when I used old jeans to make a friend a quilt.
I would love these scissors for all my crafting Ideas it would also be great because I sew a lot and I never have strait and I would really help me get in to sewing even more thank you for hosting this give away :)
wow what really impressed me about the simplicity electric scissors was how easily it cut through the hem on the denim, wow mind blown. I would LOVE to win one of these because I do heaps of craft (lots of sewing and paper crafts) and fairly often I have to stop due to my hand aching like crazy, this would be a huge benefit to my work space :)
Cool scissors would totally would use them for all my Crafts. I Deserve them cause I love to craft!Thanks for the Video!
I would love these because i am just getting into sewing and i have been teaching myself everything. I have baby number four on the way and would love to make the crib set myself so that baby really does have something original and these would help out a lot :)
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck!
I do so many crafts with so many different materials! Those scissors would be awesome for all of my cutting needs. Often times I'll do crafts that require many cuts and that would keep my hands from hurting. Plus I would say they could help keep carpel tunnel at bay.
I love to craft but when we moved this year i lost all most all of my crafting stuff and have not had the money to replace any of it. These would be a great start regaining some crafting items and could be used in so many ways.
I deserve to win them because I don't even have an Exacto knife! I'm limited to scissors... and this looks so awesome for crafts and sewing with my step-daughter!
How exciting! It's amazing how products have improved over the years. Twenty or more years ago there was a pair of electric scissors that were made by Ronco or some other television marketing company. They only worked for notebook paper. These Simplicity Scissors look like they cut everything. I need a pair of these in my craft/sewing room.
What an amazing product.. I have been crafting for years and they wear and tear on my right hand has resulted in Carpal tunnel. I may not deserve to win them but I sure would love to win them. It would make working with my hands ( which is my form of income) so much easier.. Good luck to all who enter.. Thanks for another great and informative video..
Omg I am amazed by that! I love to craft but my cutting for fabrics is so off using many rulers and a rotary cutter this would def help me!
You are having too much fun! Enjoy your videos and I hope I win a pair of these scissors. I remember I got a pair one year for Christmas when I was a little girl and I loved them!
This product looks SO useful! Sure would save my dainty little hands!
I think this would be great for making books and journals....I love working with all kinds of paper and cardboard...
I am an elementary school teacher, and I spend hours each week cutting out materials for my 97 students. This would save my hands from getting more calluses and blisters!
I would love to win this cause not only do I sew but I do all kinds of crafts especially now with the holidays coming it would be the perfect helper and awesome addition to my sewing room. Thanks Vanesa for showing us all these new products.
I have a very hard time using regular scissors due to arthritis in my hands. These would be awesome to help me with my crafting. Thanks!
These look really cool! I was eyeing on getting a rotary cutter, but these would be great for all my crafting!
I would love a pair of these scissors. I really like to make crafts from old re-purposed materials, and electric scissors would certainly make things a lot easier :-)
Love these!! With age and from sewing and crafting since I was 7 (im now 52) my hands just dont work the way they use to! I dread having to cut patterns out. I wish you had done some curves and some hair pin cuts to see if they bind on the heaver material perhaps you can do an update. Love your videos! Tammy
How well can you cut curved lines....in your video, you very helpfully cut through many different types and thicknesses of products, but you did not try to cut a curved pattern, for example...that would be very helpful to see...THANKS!!
This is a great product and I would love to have a pair for my new craft room they would help me put alot I have vision problems and these would help me do things so much faster....love your videos thank you.
This would sure save time (and hands) cutting all the paper for wrapping at Christmas.
Guau!!Vanessa, increíble regalo.En este lugar de América del Sur esas tijeras son un sueño fuera de nuestro alcance .Cariños.
These scissors are really amazing! I would love to win them because I'm currently helping to make new beds for the dogs at my school and it would make the process faster and the animals would get new beds sooner.
I love to sew! And am an art student here at the university, this tool would come in handy for sure! :D
I would love to win this because with a 2 year old daughter my crafting time is limited and scissors can become a safety issue. She loves to try and help me with my projects and for some reason is really drawn to the scissors. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that this has a safety on it and guards for the blades! I could really get some use out of this with anything from cutting fabrics for curtains or clothing to cutting paper and other things for scrap booking! It would be great to win!!!
I would love to try them. I'm an old school sewer. I tried these back in the day and they did not cut as smooth as you just demostrated.
The Simplicity Electric Scissors sound like the answer to a lot of painless cutting! Thanks for having this giveaway!
My friend has recently been taking up clothes alterations and this would be fab to give her as a gift to motivate her further to keep creating =) Thanks!
Oh, aren't they wonderful!! I tried some electric scissors a few years ago and they were nothing like these............These would certainly work well for all the denim rag quilts I have talked myself into making for people.
I am new at crafting and would love to have a pair of electric scissors to help with all the projects I am doing for Christmas.
No solamente cortes rectos... yo las e usado para cortar curvas tambien pero obviamente tienes que ir mas despacio porque corta tan rapido. Suerte!
The reason i think i deserve it bc i have little kids which its awesome that it has a safety on it and the amount of stuff i could use this on even christmas is coming up and 4 kids and a big family that would be useful for wrapping paper and cutting open those gifts with the plastic seal and the countless crafts now that holiday season is coming up all the homemade decor i do it would be handy for that. Thank u for giving away this awesome products
