079: How to Sharpen Fabric Scissors


Listen Later

Fabric scissor and shears are such an important tool when it comes to sewing and dressmaking. There is a lot of tips and advice out there about how to care for and sharpen them and so I wanted to explore with you who says what and my thoughts on the pros and cons of each recommendation.

In this episode I'll share with you the difference between all-purpose scissors and fabric scissors and shears. I'll explain why you need to think about sharpening your fabric scissors. If you have ever wondered which fabrics are guilty of dulling your blades then I'll give you a list to be looking out for.

I've also gathered all the different tips and recommendations and will give you a full run down so you can be better informed when your beloved fabric scissors need some care and attention.
