FAQs
Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?
Yes, their symmetrical design makes them comfortable and effective for both left-handed and right-handed crafters.
Can I use these to cut paper?
It is recommended to use these exclusively for fabric and thread, as cutting paper will dull the precision blades rapidly.
What is the total length of the scissors?
These embroidery scissors measure 10 cm in total length.
How do I keep the tips sharp?
Store them in a protective cover when not in use and avoid dropping them on hard surfaces, which can blunt or bend the delicate points.
Are these scissors spring-loaded?
No, these are standard pivot-action scissors, allowing for traditional, controlled cutting movements.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff when opening or closing.
Apply a very small drop of sewing machine oil to the pivot screw and work the blades back and forth.
Blades are not cutting cleanly at the tip.
Ensure there is no thread or lint caught between the blades; clean thoroughly and verify the blades are not being twisted during use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; the scissors are ready for use immediately upon removal from packaging. To maintain performance, store them in a dedicated scissor sheath or a clean, dry sewing box when not in use to protect the points from bending. Periodically wipe the blades with a dry cloth to remove lint and thread residue. If the blades become sluggish, applying a tiny drop of sewing machine oil at the pivot point will ensure smooth operation. Keep them away from moisture to prevent rust.
