Full details
The Hemline Sewing Scissors (21cm) are designed for sewists, dressmakers, and crafters who require a reliable, everyday cutting tool that combines ergonomic comfort with precision performance. Featuring titanium-coated stainless steel blades and soft-grip handles, these scissors excel at clean fabric and thread cuts; however, they are optimized for textile use and should be kept away from abrasive materials like paper or wire to maintain their edge sharpness.

FAQs
Can I use these scissors to cut paper?
It is not recommended. Paper is abrasive and will quickly dull the precision knife-edge designed specifically for fabric.
Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?
These scissors feature a symmetrical soft-grip handle design, making them comfortable for most users, though the blade alignment is standard for right-handed cutting motion.
How do I clean the titanium-coated blades?
Wipe the blades with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads.
What does the 21cm measurement refer to?
21cm (8.25 inches) refers to the total length of the scissors from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle loop.
Is it safe to put these scissors in the dishwasher?
No, you should never put these scissors in a dishwasher. Heat and harsh detergents can damage the soft-grip handles and degrade the blade coating.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff or do not open/close smoothly.
Check for lint or thread debris caught in the pivot screw and gently remove it with a soft brush.
Fabric is being pushed between the blades rather than cut.
This often occurs when the scissors have been used on non-fabric materials; ensure you are only cutting fabric and avoid using excessive force.
Blades feel dull or 'snaggy'.
Avoid cutting through heavy materials like wire or paper; if the blades are dull, consider professional sharpening services, though the titanium coating may be affected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for these scissors; they are ready to use out of the packaging. To maintain optimal performance, always store the scissors in a dry environment to keep the pivot point clean. Compatibility is best maintained by strictly using these for fabrics, patterns, and threads; avoid using these on paper, cardstock, or adhesive-backed materials, as these can dull the blade and leave residue that impedes smooth cutting. If the blades become dusty, wipe them with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Do not soak the scissors in water, as this may affect the handle components and long-term pivot smoothness.
