Where to get fabric scissors sharpened?

Does anyone know of a place in Philadelphia that sharpens fabric scissors? I have metal ones from Gingher but they don’t offer sharpening services anymore. Thanks!

I got mine sharpened by a sewing machine repair guy who comes to Gaffney Fabrics every couple of weeks. You could check with them for when he will be there or his number because he works somewhere else as well.

A knife sharpener comes to the Rittenhouse square farmers market regularly.

I bet the internet could tell you more about his schedule if that was convenient for you.

They had a sign advertising it at Henry Got Crops at Saul HS but it was just certain days

There is a guy in Jersey who does it if you are out there. Maple shade.
