Many improvements have been made in scissors in the last few years. And you will find that some of the old issues, like rust and keeping your scissors sharpened, are less of a problem.
Modern sewing scissors are more comfortable to use, especially for those with arthritis in their hands and fingers. Ergonomically designed handles keep your hands and wrists in the safest position for long use, and scissors that are designed for right or left hand use, help as well. Soft handles minimize fatigue and pressure points or blisters.
Size matters when choosing sewing scissors. The smaller 4”-5 ½” scissors are perfect for detail work and for quilting and embroidery work, while the longer 8”-9 ½” sewing scissors have more power, giving you the ability to cut through layers of fabric.
In addition to being better than your Grandma’s scissors, many sewing scissors have a lifetime guarantee. This area of sewing has come a long way in the last few years!
