Use of trimming tools

Pivoted scissors are a more recent invention, appearing in the Roman Empire between the 1st and
2nd century AD or 2,000 to 1,900 years ago. Today, these pivoted scissors come in a variety of
types, but their basic mechanism remains the same: two pieces of metal blades are held together by
a screw at their pivot point.

Scissors and other cutting tools are among the most important tools for anyone who sews. While
having a pair of all-purpose scissors can be helpful, it certainly won’t be enough for all the tasks that
you need to accomplish. As such, we’ve made this introductory guide to help you get started on
figuring out the right kind of cutting tools that you might need for your sewing projects.

All purpose scissors – Standard craft or sewing scissors can be used for general-purpose tasks to
prevent your other cutting tools from wearing away quickly.

Standard tailor’s scissors – Standard tailor’s scissors typically have one blunt and one pointed
blade. The blunt end of one blade prevents the fabric from catching on the blade and getting
damaged as a result.
Pinking shears – Pinking shears have serrated blades that create zigzag-patterned seams. This
zigzag pattern helps prevent the fabric edge from unraveling.

Scalloping shears – Scalloping shears are just like pinking shears, but instead of a zigzag pattern,
they create rounded or scalloped cuts on the fabric.

Bent-handled shears – Bent-handled shears have bent lower handles that keep the shears flush
with the surface of the cutting table. This affords the users better comfort and greater precision when
they cut fabrics.

Thread clippers – Thread clippers are small scissors used for nipping excess thread and parts of
the fabric that have frayed or unraveled. Some clippers look like the ancient type of scissors
because their blades are held together by a bent piece of metal.

Buttonhole scissors – Buttonhole scissors have a small screw that you can turn in order to adjust
the blade, creating cuts of certain lengths for the purpose of making buttonholes. These scissors
also have notches on their blades, which allow you to make the buttonholes without cutting the edge
of the fabric.

Quilting scissors – There are many types of quilting scissors and shears, but the basic ones you’ll
need for quilting are rag quilting snips and soft-touch spring-action shears. Rag quilting snips can
help you make cuts perpendicular to the seam of a quilt, while soft-touch spring-action shears allow
users to cut heavy materials with ease.

Embroidery scissors – Doing works of embroidery require very precise trimming. Thankfully, there
are different types of embroidery scissors that you can use to make sure that your projects turn out
perfectly. For instance, a pair of embroidery appliqué scissors has a “duckbill” blade, which is
designed to protect the base fabric when the user is working on an appliqué. The duckbill blade lifts
the fabric being cut off, allowing the user to perform close trimming without damaging the fabric.
Other types of embroidery scissors include curved tip scissors, steeple tip scissors, hook-blade
scissors, and double-curved scissors.
Rotary cutters – Rotary cutters don’t exactly look like regular scissors. In fact, with its round rolling
blade, it actually looks more like a pizza cutter. Rotary cutters can be used to cut through angles that
might be tough to cut with regular scissors. If you need to cut through several layers of fabric all at
once, rotary cutters can also be useful.

Before buying a pair of scissors, try it at the store first so that you can have a feel whether or not it’s
comfortable to hold and use. Once you build your collection, it is important that you take care of your
cutting tools properly so that they will last a long time. Never use fabric scissors and shears on
materials other than actual fabrics.

To keep them sharpened, bring them to a professional sharpening service provider or sharpen them
yourself if you have the equipment and know-how. Some scissors are sold with a simple sharpening
tool, which you can also use. The point is to make sure that your cutting tools are always sharp for
that refined cut that you need.
