I was browsing some on-line quilt shops and ran across some Clover "Ultimate Scissors". Looking on the Clover web site, I saw:

I have reservations, particularly with regard their being "ultimate". The website is nothing but a continuous string of meaningless advertising terms; there is no substance. There was recently a thread on this group about scissors. If you're interested/shopping for some, I'd review that thread, and visit some LQSs where you can "test drive" some quality scissors. If you're really interested in these, I'd be sure to check out their return/refund policy if you're not satisfied.

I have no information on those scissors, Bev, but congratulations on retiring! :)
Glad you can be there and share that particular day with us.

I have 2 sizes of the Clover Patchwork scissors, a little further down the page. They have serrated edges which are really great at gripping the fabric. I was a little disappointed that the larger ones aren't sharper than they are. But you can cut fabric while holding it up. I guess I must do that a lot, because I use the smaller scissors quite a bit.
I really like all the Clover products I've purchased. I'm amazed at how many I own. If it's Clover or Bohin, I'm probably going to try it out.
I will try the "ultimate" scissors when I see them.

I asked about scissors before. I listened there were two brands highly recommended. One I couldn't afford yet. So I bought some Gingher on ebay, way cheaper then what I could have got them in store. And I am amazed at how easy it is to cut fabric with them. Even though initially I thought they were heavy but so far I'm really pleased with them. And love the sleeve that came with them.

No exp with Clover scissors. Hearty congrats and good luck on the retirement, Bev! PAT in VA/USA
Thanks for the excellent advice :-). I'm just curious. Bev in TX
I probably should have mentioned my retirement in a separate message. After I get rested up a little, I hope to get back to doing some quilting. I started a quilt around April 2008 for my older DS and it has just sat there for over a year waiting to be completed.
I also see that I accidentally logged in with my "gmail" ID, rather than "yahoo", with which you are all familiar. I got the gmail address because yahoo kept dumping DJ (Dear Jane) group e-mails in with SPAM. I did not intend to use it for anything else, so I'll try to be a bit more careful in the future. I hope that either a DJ or DH (Dear Hannah) quilt will be a future project, so I'm just listening in for now.
