HOW TO FIND THE BEST EMBROIDERY SCISSORS FOR YOU
All embroidery scissors should be sharp, but what else should you look for to find your best embroidery scissors?
Let’s look at 4 factors to consider
- Size – Do you prefer a very small, lightweight pair or something larger and slightly heavier? If you aren’t sure because you are looking for your first pair, I would suggest you try a middle size, around 3.5 inches in overall length.
- Use – How are you planning to use them? If mainly in a sewing basket or next to a sewing machine for snipping threads, then this doesn’t limit your choices. However, if they are going to be doing heavy-duty work like cutting beading cords, or clipping seam allowances, then you need a stronger, sharper pair.
- Design – Hey, these little beauties should match your design style or be a design that brings a tiny zing of joy each time you use them. Maybe that design is whimsy, classical, modern, flowery, sleek, or a particular color. You will find it!
- Cost – You are in luck because you can find good choices across a wide range of prices. So much so, we are starting with low-cost options.
