Tailor’s shears
Textiles are a classic field of application for scissors. In traditional textile production, cloth shears were used to cut off protruding wool fibres from freshly woven fabrics – for a perfectly smooth and even surface. Today they are the proven choice for precise cutting of all kinds of fabrics.
How to read the dimensions
The value in mm is always the overall length of the scissors – from the blade tip to the end of the finger loops.

Which length is right?
Shorter scissors (105–130 mm) are suited to thread and fine work, longer ones (155–205 mm) to cutting fabrics and making long, straight cuts.
Fabric scissors or ring-finger scissors?
Fabric scissors are designed for cutting fabrics. Ring-finger scissors are ideal for cutting threads and yarns quickly and precisely – for example directly at the sewing machine.
What are fabric scissors suitable for?
For fabrics, thread and textile materials – especially for sturdy, thick fabrics.
Can I try out a pair of scissors?
Get in touch – we will be happy to advise you personally on the right model.
Which scissors are suitable for embroidery?
Embroidery scissors are small, delicate and very sharp – with fine, often curved blades. They are suited to precise detail work where large fabric shears would be too unwieldy.
Can I also cut paper with fabric scissors?
We recommend using fabric scissors only for fabrics and threads. Paper and cardboard blunt the blades more quickly.
How do I care for my scissors?
Clean lint and thread residue from the blades after use, occasionally put a drop of oil on the joint and store the scissors in a dry place.
Can I order scissors in larger quantities?
Yes – for example for studios, schools or production. Get in touch and we will be happy to prepare a quotation for you.
How should the length specification be understood?
The figure in mm is always the overall length of the scissors – from the tip of the blade to the end of the finger loops.
Which scissors are suitable for leather and heavy fabrics?
Our special scissors with ergonomic soft grips glide through everything from the finest silk to heavy fabrics and leather. For heavy fabrics and leather we recommend the large K35 cutting shears with bent handle.
Are there scissors for on the go?
Yes. Our pocket scissors are compact and have rounded blades – so they can be carried safely in a pocket or handbag, for example in everyday life, when travelling or camping.
