Unlike general-purpose scissors, sewing scissors are engineered to deliver clean, snag-free cuts on a variety of textiles, from lightweight silks to heavy denim. The blade edges are honed to a finer degree and often angled to allow cutting fabric flat on tables or in hand, reducing distortion of the cloth. Handles are ergonomically designed to provide control and ease during precise snipping. The quality of the steel and blade sharpening technique ensures longevity, resisting dulling caused by frequent cutting of thick or layered fabrics. These refined features make sewing scissors indispensable for professional-grade sewing work.
