Tailoring Scissors
Tailoring scissors are specialized cutting tools designed for fabric and garment construction. They typically have long blades that are sharp and pointed, allowing for precise cutting of various materials, including fabric, thread, and even lighter weight materials like interfacing.
Key Features:
Length: The blades are usually longer than standard scissors to provide a smoother, more continuous cut.
Blades: High-quality steel for durability and sharpness, often with a beveled edge for better cutting performance.
Handle: Ergonomically designed for comfort, often with one handle larger than the other for better leverage.
Weight: Heavier than regular scissors to allow for easier cutting through multiple layers of fabric.
Uses:
Keep them clean and dry to prevent rust.
Store them in a protective case or sheath to maintain sharpness.
Regularly sharpen the blades to ensure clean cuts.
