Full details
The Sullivans Titanium Dressmaker Scissors are an essential tool for sewing enthusiasts, crafters, and artists who require precision cutting combined with long-term durability. These 10-inch shears feature titanium-bonded blades that resist rust and stay sharp through repeated use, paired with soft-grip handles for reduced hand fatigue. While their 10-inch size is perfect for fabric and long cuts, they may feel slightly oversized for intricate, small-scale paper detail work.

FAQs
Can I use these scissors for paper crafting?
While they will cut paper, it is not recommended as it will dull the titanium-bonded blades faster than cutting fabric.
Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?
These are standard dressmaker scissors. They are best suited for right-handed users, though the soft-grip handle provides some flexibility.
How do I clean the scissors?
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the blades clean. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
Are these dishwasher safe?
No, these scissors should never be placed in a dishwasher as it will damage the handle materials and the precision of the blade alignment.
What is the primary benefit of the titanium coating?
The titanium coating significantly increases the surface hardness of the blade, helping it resist wear, rust, and corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff when opening and closing
Check the pivot screw for lint buildup and add a single drop of sewing machine oil to the pivot area, then work the blades back and forth.
Blades are not cutting cleanly at the tips
Ensure you are not forcing thick material into the very tip of the blade. If the issue persists, the tension screw may need a slight adjustment by a professional sharpener.
