Why weren’t we taught this at school you ask??? Because for years we have had scissors put in our hands and told to cut.
Ask yourself: Do your hands get tired at the end of the day; does your thumb and wrist ache?
This is not a sales pitch! Sue’s aim is for you to discover. What you are buying is up to you but with this education you will learn to use the scissor properly to extend their life, learn to use different scissors and learn to enhance your work. Come and get excited today.
