How it is used
Tailor scissors have long blades, so each stroke cuts a long, straight line with little effort. That makes them the bench tool for jobs that would blunt or damage fine dissecting scissors: cutting cloth and muslin, filter or chart paper, rubber and plastic tubing, string and thick plant material.
The size depends on the work. The 8 inch pair is easier to control for smaller jobs, while the 9 and 10 inch pairs give a longer cut for sheet material and heavier cutting.
- Match the size to the job: 8 inch for control, 9 or 10 inch for long cuts.
- Open the blades fully and cut with the material deep in the jaws for thick items.
- Wipe the blades clean and dry after use, especially after cutting plant material.
