Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between fabric shears and regular scissors for sewing?

Fabric shears have longer blades (typically 7–10”) with a bent handle that keeps the lower blade flat against the table as you cut, reducing distortion. Regular scissors are shorter and better suited for trimming, clipping curves, and detail work. Both have a place in a well-stocked sewing room.

How do I know which rotary blade size to choose for sewing?

28mm blades are best for curves and small pieces. 45mm is the everyday workhorse for straight cuts and general garment sewing. 60mm cuts through multiple layers and thick wovens with ease. Most sewists start with a 45mm handle and add others as their projects require.

How should I store and maintain my sewing scissors?

Store fabric scissors in a protective case or sheath and never use them on paper, which dulls the edge quickly. Wipe blades clean after use and apply a drop of scissor oil to the pivot point periodically to keep them cutting smoothly.
