Try out a pair of fiskars at Michaels....... use them in the store and decide.I have a cheap pair of stork scissors and they work better than some of my more expensive ones that I have.   Go and give them a try, just make sure the blades line up nicely and find yourself a good professional to sharpen your current pair.   They even tighten the screws and make sure they are perfect before giving them back to you.
