Embroidery Scissors

Embroidery scissors are small 9–11 cm scissors with a fine sharp point; they cut the thread end at the base of the knot without touching the fabric and lift a single stitch when unpicking. This page gathers all the embroidery scissors at Hobianna: Singer coloured embroidery scissors in different colours and Hello thread snips (sprung, one-handed thread cutter). A shared page for cross stitch, embroidery, tapestry and punch needle. Tailor and fabric shears are in Sewing Scissors, zigzag cutting in Pinking Shears, all scissors in Scissors.

Which Scissors?

In cross stitch and embroidery the sharp-point Singer scissors are the first choice; thread snips suit quick cutting at the hoop and travel. The scissors cut thread only, never blunt them on paper or fabric; park them on a magnetic minder at the hoop.
