gingher sewing scissors sharpening

(1/1)

ts61400:
Jeff, how can I sharpen a pair of my wife's sewing scissors?  They are not like the scissors you use to demonstrate the scissor jig.  The blade of the scissor is angled besides the cutting angle.  I cannot figure out how to mount them in the jig because there is no flat surface on the blade.  Once in the clamp awkwardly, I cannot set the jig angle without the jig touching the stone as well(from behind the blade).  Any suggestions you would have would be greatly appreciated.

Jeff Farris:
Sounds like you are putting the scissor blade too far back into the jig.  You need only catch the back of the blade enough to get a secure grip.  The clamp on the jig should adapt to most any blade shape.  I have done Ginghers on many occasions.
