Fabric Scissors

Choosing the right pair of fabric scissors is very important for dressmakers, fashion students and sewing enthusiasts. If you have a favoured brand of dressmaking scissors you like to work with you have come to the right place - whether it’s the specialist knowledge behind Fiskars scissors you like from Finland, the quality of Kai scissors from Japan, Robuso scissors for their German engineering or the sophisticated design and award winning offered by Brazilian brand Mundial. For those on a budget we also offer our very own economy range of scissors and shears.

Buy a proper pair of embroidery scissors and you will quickly appreciate their worth. The short blades and needle-sharp points allow you to cut very precisely - perfect for cutting single stitches of sewing without damaging the surrounding fabric and undoing the fabulous work you have done! They are perfect for lace work and buttonholes as well as embroidery.

General use scissors are – as you’d expect – suitable for a variety of dressmaking and pattern design jobs. Including the infamous Mundial Red Dot range, these scissors are sharp, lightweight and comfortable, allowing the neat cutting of fabric in addition to snipping thread.

If it's precision cutting you are after, pinking shears are ideal. We have a whole selection of exceptional quality tailors shears and pinking shears, coming with long-lasting sharpness and a range of grips for both comfort and accuracy.

If you work with aramid fibre or yarn check out our range of aramid shears. These have been specially designed to make light work of cutting through thick, aramid fibre, although they can be used on other materials too.

For precise and accurate thread snipping, this is an essential dressmaking scissor tool. Choose thread snips with curved or straight blades or go for a pair of sewing snips with an ergonomic handle

A good pair of fabric scissors is dictated by the sharpness of the blade so don't compromise your good work with blunt tools. Our fabric scissor sharpeners have been specially selected from the world renowned Fiskars brand so you can be assured of uncompromising quality. Please note however that our scissor sharpeners should never be used with pinking shears or curved, serrated or genuine left handed scissors.
