Scissors

For general sewing projects, you may need multiple types of scissors: fabric shears for cutting larger pieces of fabric, embroidery scissors for small and precise cuts, pinking shears for preventing fraying, and thread snips for quick trimming. Having the right pair for each task ensures clean cuts and less fabric damage.

Look for features like sharp stainless steel blades, ergonomic handles for comfortable use, and a design suitable for either right-handed or left-handed users. Quality scissors also have a smooth cutting action and good weight balance to reduce hand fatigue.

Serrated scissors have blades with fine teeth that grip slippery fabrics like silk or polyester, providing better control while cutting. They are ideal for lightweight or delicate fabrics that are prone to shifting during cutting.

Fabric shears are used for clean, straight cuts on most types of fabric. Pinking shears, on the other hand, have a zigzag blade that helps prevent fabric edges from fraying, making them especially useful for non-serged seam allowances or finishing fabric edges.

Yes, there are left-handed sewing scissors available at Quality Sewing. They are specifically designed to ensure comfortable cutting for left-handed users, offering the same precision and ease as right-handed versions.
