Embroidery Scissors

Embroidery needs small pointed scissors to cut thread ends close to the fabric and unpick wrong stitches, and tailor's shears for fabric and stabilizer. This category carries small pointed embroidery scissors, Taksun clear-handle 20 cm scissors, Taksun 21.5 cm tailor's shears and Singer coloured scissors. All scissors are in Scissors; other embroidery aids in Embroidery Tools.

Which Scissor for What?

A 9–10 cm pointed scissor cuts floss and pearl cotton ends without harming the stitch and helps unpick French knots; the 20 cm plastic-handle scissor cuts felt, stabilizer and paper patterns; tailor's shears cut linen and calico. Keep fabric scissors off paper and store them sheathed and dry; a magnetic needle minder keeps the scissors on the hoop edge.
