Help! My rug shears disaster

[qdertaikaq]

My cat knocked over my only pair of rug shears mid-project and they're totally bent now... Murphy's law, right? I'm halfway through a galaxy-themed piece for my nephew's room, and using regular scissors is like trying to eat soup with a fork Been at this tufting thing for 6 months, and finally starting to get commissions. Anyone have recommendations for reliable shears that won't break the bank? Bonus points if they're comfy for small hands!

Ah, the classic cat sabotage! I've been there too—my cat once decided my yarn was a perfect toy and tangled up a whole project. It's frustrating, especially when you're making something special. For shears, I totally get the struggle with regular scissors. After some trial and error, I found a pair that feels just right—check out these ak-1 cut pile tufting gun (https://urbantufting.com/ak-i-tufting-gun/). They’re comfy for smaller hands and surprisingly durable for the price! I’ve been using them for my tufting and have had no issues. Fingers crossed your next project goes off without a hitch (and no more cat chaos)!
