Fine Detail scissors suggestion
I need to buy a scissors that will cut very fine details . I am cutting out a Tilda and the scissors I have doesn't have a thin blade and very fine point to get into the tiny sections.
Any Suggestions? And where did you buy it? Thanks Barbara |
I love the Cutter Bee scissors. Also, I have Gingher (now owned by Fiskars) embroidery scissors for very fine detail. But so far the Cutter Bees are working great.

I ditto Linda on the Cutter Bee scissors. They are available lots of places, I've seen them at Target in the craft area, Michaels and JoAnn's, and many stamp/scrap stores - online or brick and mortar.
For fine detail cutting be sure to look for a blade that is pointed all the way to the tip, those that have a slight blunt or angled end will not cut into tight spaces without causing a blip in the cutting. |
Thanks! I will look for Cutter Bees
Wow Fiskars bought Gingher! The companies that have been around for a 100 years are being gobbled up left and right. So sad . Gingher was the gold standard in scissors . I have Gingher scissors from at least 35 years ago. They cost a lot when I bought them, but have given me a life time of service. I have then sharpened every few years and they cut like they did when they were new. |
Don't laugh, but I use Revlon cuticle scissors. I bought 2 pair at Walgreens a few years back when they had a buy one/get one sale. I have a straight edge pair & the curved ones. I like to use the curved ones to cut that little bridge on circle & oval pieces I cut with Coluzzle templates. I don't do a lot of detail cutting so they have held up. If you need some inexpensive ones in a hurry they would do fine. But if you do a lot of detail cutting, a pair with a more comfortable handle & better blade would be a better investment.

I found my Cutterbees at Walmart!! LOL...Love those things!!

Another vote for Cutterbees! And remember, your cutting will go more smoothly if you rotate/move the paper you are cutting, not the scissors.:)
|
Gotta say, love my Cutterbees!

I have a pair of Henckels mini scissors I got as a gift when I did a lot of sewing and quilting (for snipping those little thread ends). They were quite expensive, but I've had them for 20 years - they work great and still really sharp (haven't had to sharpen them yet).
|
Another vote for CutterBees. They have been one of my best investments. I've had mine for at least 8 years and they are still just as sharp now as they were brand new. And I used them all the time.
|
I'm hoping to get a pair of curved shears to help with shaping. I'm not looking to spend an arm & Japan Scissors a leg on them--but I also don't want to waste my money on cheap quality shears that are going to end up in the trash.
Any suggestions on brands and where to buy them? Thanks! |
I have cutterbees too. And the embroidery scissors. They have the tiniest of points and were around the house from mom. I totally agree about no blunt ends.
|
Yup, I'm on that train for Cutterbee! I've had mine for over 10 years. I use a scissor sharping tool to keep them sharp. As Tony the Tiger says "There're Great!"
|
gosh this thread was started YEARS ago. But it's still true- Cutterbees are wonderful detail scissors!
To jdixon4 - not sure about curved shears. Hopefully someone will see this and answer you! |
