Instructions & More

Safe Storage

Snap the protective sheath into place before storing or tossing the Medium Fabric Scissors into a bag.

Scissor Sharpening

Madam Sew has often been asked to bring a scissor sharpener to our store because sometimes scissors are worked hard and become dull.

Unlike knives, there is no safe scissor sharpener available, every pair of scissors is formed differently, with specialized blade angles. Don't sharpen your scissors yourself. If a pair ever becomes dull, have it sharpened only by a professional scissor sharpener. Using a knife sharpener or DIY method can damage the blades and risks injury.

Common Questions

Are these good for everyday fabric cutting, or just a backup pair?

A: Great as your main pair for everyday fabrics like quilting cotton and knits. For heavier fabrics or multiple layers, a professional dedicated fabric shear is a better fit…keep this one for everything else.

Will these cut anything besides fabric?

A: Yes. The same blade handles pattern paper, ribbon, and other lightweight craft materials cleanly…handy for a travel or class kit.

Andrew ★★★★★

I quilt for hours at a time and my old scissors left a red dent in my thumb, but these barely feel like anything in my hand. The 7.5" blades slice through cotton batting cleanly, even on doubled layers.

Lucy O. ★★★★★

I've been cutting quilt squares for two hours straight and my hand isn't cramped at all, which never happens with my old scissors. They're so light I keep checking they're actually in my sewing bag, and the 7.5" size is perfect for trimming curves.

Leo ★★★★★

The sheath snaps in so securely I just toss these in my tote without a second thought, and they still slice through several layers of denim like butter. Honestly the lightweight feel makes a huge difference when I’m cutting out a whole pattern.
