Fiskars Softgrip® Scissors

Scissors

Possibly one of the most important tools to have in your sewing station is an excellent pair of scissors.

This pair of Fiskars Softgrip® scissors is specially engineered for quilting, sewing, or papercrafting. Unexpectedly comfortable, the comfort soft grip handles make cutting easy and relaxed.

If you're wanting to get into advanced free motion quilting and Trapunto, you're going to need a good pair of scissors that are sharp, but comfortable on your hands and wrists.

Too often, quilters choose tiny, embroidery scissors when clipping away batting in Trapunto quilts. This is very unfortunate because these types of scissors are very badly designed for the hours of work it can sometimes take to clip away the batting from a large quilt.

You need scissors with a large, soft handle,
but short blades that will give you more control and precision

quilting scissors | trapunto scissors | fiskars softgrip scissorsThe Fiskars Softgrip® scissors make precise cuts with specially invented Micro-tip blades. These blades have an extra-fine point you can actually see. Now you can make any meticulous cut down to the smallest snip!

Approximate size of Scissors: 7"
Length of Blade: 1 3/4"

Special Note from Leah Day: I personally use these Softgrip® scissors everyday. Whether I'm free motion quilting, piecing, or appliqué, these scissors have a wide variety of uses.

These scissors are best for clipping precision areas, like the tight spots in trapunto. When clipping the larger areas of the quilt, I usually use the Famore rounded tip scissors so I don't accidently clip the quilt top!

Treat yourself to scissors that are lightweight, comfortable, and don't hurt your hands so you can quilt to the best of your ability each and every day.
