In the crafting world, there are supplies that we simply cannot live without. Scissors are on the top of my list!
I use Fiskars scissors, rotary cutters, and self-healing mats. While there are tons of brands out there, I have found Fiskars products have been a great middle-of-the-road option. Fiskars carries a range of products, but let’s talk scissors.
When searching for a pair of scissors, you may feel overwhelmed with options. Ask yourself what you really need. If you need to cut small, precise pieces of paper or fabric, don’t choose scissors with long blades. Try a 4” blade. Do you cut squares for quilts? Getting a rotary cutter and mat is essential!
Here’s what I love:
When I’m cutting fabric, I love my Fiskars 8” Razor Edged Spring Action scissors. I also have a pair of Fiskars 8” multi-purpose scissors that I used for cutting fabric, but now I use for cutting paper. They are awesome! I have a 4” pair that I use next to my machine, which would be perfect for cutting thread close to the fabric, but I’m going to replace my cheap pair for some like these:
I have learned the hard way that you will get what you pay for when it comes to scissors.
Finally, I love my rotary cutter and mat. Again, my best advice here is to get a large mat. I have got a small mat and a medium mat and am currently talking myself into buying a large mat because mine are just not cutting it. Also, have extra rotary blades on hand as they do get dull and are easy to replace.
