Nothing will dull scissors faster than using them to cut paper. If you any amount of sewing, you know that sharp scissors are a very important tool to have.

My mom has a separate pair of scissors that are just used to cut cloth. She even has it marked on the handle so that they aren’t accidentally used for another purpose.

I don’t sew that much but I would imagine that I would buy a nice pair of scissors to cut cloth and would want them to be used just for that. Labeling the scissors is also a good idea so that everyone in the household will know that these scissors are off limits for all projects that don’t involve cloth.
