Part 2 of Tools of the trade and we are talking about scissors. Most folks have more than one scissors, and scissors have more than one use! Here we are just showing a few different ones and what might be there uses. You may have many more, or you may be wondering why would any one want more than one! The scissors pictures above is a small 'stork' scissors, this one is great for hand work, cutting threads mostly. A great gift to give that sewing friend who has everything, they can always use one more cute little scissors.
This is a fabric scissors. We have many different scissors in our home, but the fabric scissors is only used for fabric. This scissors has a fob on it to remind family...'fabric only' If you only use your fabric scissors for cutting fabric, and not wool or paper, you scissors will stay sharp longer. When cutting wool of paper, use a paper scissors.
Here you see Fiscars Raggy scissors. These have a small blade that was designed for cutting the seam allowances on raggy blankets. They help you not cut into the sewing and the smaller blade and spring loaded handle help with the cutting.
And I hope every one has one of these scissors. They are the sharpest scissors and have a very fine blade- even way out at the end. I'd hate to drop this on my foot, but they are great for cutting button holes open or for cutting slits with great precision. These are just a few of the great cutting tools out there, hopefully this will help you in your future sewing projects.
