FAQs

Can I use these scissors on paper?

It is not recommended. Using fabric scissors on paper or cardstock will dull the blades quickly, making them ineffective for sewing.

How do I sharpen these scissors?

It is best to take them to a professional knife and scissor sharpener to ensure the blade angle is preserved.

What is the total length of the scissors?

These scissors measure 21.6cm, which is approximately 8.5 inches.

Are these scissors suitable for left-handed users?

While the design is standard, the ergonomic handles are primarily shaped for right-handed use; however, they may be comfortable for some left-handed sewers depending on their grip style.

Can I wash these in the dishwasher?

No. You should never wash dressmaking scissors in a dishwasher as it will damage the finish and dull the blades.

Troubleshooting

Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open

Apply a tiny drop of sewing machine oil to the pivot screw and wipe away excess.

Blades are not cutting cleanly at the tip

Check for lint buildup in the pivot area or consult a professional sharpener to adjust the blade tension.

Rust spots appearing on blades

Gently clean with a fine-grade abrasive pad and ensure the scissors are kept in a dry storage area away from humidity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable stainless steel construction for long-lasting use
  • Stylish rose gold handle provides an elegant look
  • Optimal 8.5-inch size for versatility in cutting fabric and thread
  • Smooth pivot mechanism allows for easy operation

Cons

  • Rose gold finish may show scratches if not stored properly
  • Not intended for heavy-duty materials like leather or thick upholstery
  • Requires regular maintenance to prevent rust and maintain sharpness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are precision tools, no complex setup is required; simply ensure the pivot screw is appropriately tightened if the blades feel too loose. For care, always store your scissors in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth after each sewing session to remove residual fabric lint or thread dust. It is recommended to keep these scissors exclusively for fabric use; do not use them for household tasks like cutting tape, wire, or crafting supplies, as this will degrade the cutting edge quickly.
