Choosing the right scissors can really make a difference to your crafting experience. Think about the types of projects you usually undertake. For intricate embroidery, a small, sharp pair with pointed blades is essential. These allow for precise snips close to the fabric, preventing unwanted pulls and ensuring a clean finish. Many of our embroidery scissors are little works of art themselves, some even come with pretty necklace attachments.
If dressmaking is more your thing, you'll want a robust pair of dressmaking shears. Look for longer blades and comfortable handles that will prevent hand fatigue when cutting through multiple layers of fabric. A good pair of dressmaking scissors is an investment that will last for years.
We also stock rotary cutters and cutting mats, ideal for quilting and other projects that require long, straight cuts. And for those who like a bit of fun in their crafting, check out our colourful range of heart and flower-shaped scissors – perfect for adding a touch of personality to your toolkit!
Looking After Your Scissors
To keep your scissors performing at their best, always use them for their intended purpose. Avoid cutting paper or other materials that can dull the blades. Store them safely in a case or pouch to protect them from damage. With a little care, your scissors will provide you with years of happy crafting!
