Dress maker shears?

I was wondering if many of you use nice, heavy dress maker shears or just inexpensive fabric scissors? I have fabric scissors that have an angle, and they are sharp enough to cut fabric, but wonder if I shouldn't go ahead and invest in actual shears. Will the difference in quality and ease of use blow me away?


I saw a rather large pair at Joann's, and a smaller pair next to them. The smaller pair was labeled dress maker shears, while the larger pair was not. They looked identical except for size. Would the larger size be too cumbersome?


Any reviews or opinions? Should I look for a particular brand?
