I’ve sharpened basic scissors on a Tormek T7 and Kally with adjustable rest. Both worked but the Tormek was easier, especially around the tip, because the scissors are locked in a clamp than maintains angle.
I’m totally not an expert at scissors sharpening and have done very few, maybe 5 or 6 pairs. I suspect you had difficult due to trying to do it freehand. Scissors cut at the leading edge of the blades and if the blades don’t meet perfectly at the leading edges the scissors won’t cut for crap.
That’s just a guess. Hopefully someone who knows a lot more about it will respond with a more helpful post.
