Scissors and cutting tools for fabric and paper

Scissors and cutting tools for every material

Scissors and cutting tools make a noticeable difference in sewing, crafts and needlework, because the right pair cuts cleanly without distorting fabric or fraying paper. Here you'll find fabric and paper scissors, fine embroidery scissors and thread snips, pinking shears and sturdy cutting tools for felt or craft foam.

Which scissors for what?

Fabric scissors have long, sharp blades for long, straight cuts when cutting out. For threads and fine work such as embroidery or trimming seam allowances, small embroidery scissors or thread snips are easier to handle. Pinking shears create a zigzag edge that looks decorative and reduces fraying on many fabrics. For paper, cardstock and craft foam, use craft scissors. Ergonomic handles take strain off your hand when you cut a lot and for long periods.

• Fabric scissors for precise cuts in textiles
• Craft scissors for paper, cardstock and craft foam
• Embroidery scissors and thread snips for fine work
• Pinking shears for decorative cut edges
• Styles with ergonomic handles

Tip: Use your fabric scissors only for fabric. Paper and cardstock dull the blades quickly, and dull scissors press and pull at the fabric instead of cutting cleanly.
