Fabric and sewing scissors by Mundial

At BLADI you can buy scissors and fabric shears: mainly Mundial fabric shears and dressmaking scissors from about 12 to 25 cm, with titanium coating or an ergonomic soft-touch handle, a left-handed version and small single-ring scissors for fine work. They cut fabric, including heavier upholstery fabric, cleanly and precisely.

Which scissors suit your work?

Long fabric shears (21 to 25 cm): such as the Mundial professional fabric shears 21 cm with micro-serration, the reinforced dressmaking scissors of 24.1 cm and the 10-inch fabric shears, for long, straight cuts in upholstery fabric and faux leather.
Titanium coated: the Mundial titanium scissors 21.5 cm and the reinforced titanium dressmaking scissors.
Comfort for long cutting sessions: Cushion Pro 20 cm, Cushion Soft 22 cm and the soft-grip scissors of 5.5 and 9.5 inches.
Left-handed: Mundial scissors 21.6 cm with ergonomic handle.
Fine work: Mundial single-ring titanium scissors 12.7 cm and the 14.5 cm fabric scissors for threads, notches and details.

Tip: use your fabric shears only for textiles, not for paper or card, and they will stay sharp for longer. For thick upholstery fabric choose long, reinforced shears; for clothing and details, shorter scissors are enough.

Choosing professional fabric scissors

You can recognise professional fabric scissors by their long, sharp blades and sturdy handle, like the 21 cm Mundial fabric scissors with micro-serration. Left-handed? Then choose the 21.6 cm left-handed Mundial scissors. Sewing also calls for matching sewing thread and the right sewing machine needles. For small snips and threads, the 12.7 cm Mundial titanium single-ring scissors are handy.

Fabric scissors

For a tailor or upholsterer, good fabric scissors are indispensable! The difference from ordinary scissors is that fabric scissors have an extra-sharp cutting edge. They go through fabric like a hot knife through butter. As a general rule: the larger the scissors, the heavier the fabric you can cut. If you work with fabric regularly, fabric scissors are one of the best purchases you can make. Good tools make the job a lot easier, so don't skimp on them!

Embroidery scissors for fabric

Different applications call for their own specific scissors. For fine work we stock small scissors, such as the 12.7 cm single-ring scissors. They cut thread extremely cleanly. If you use ordinary scissors, you will see it straight away at the end of the thread. It will fray quickly, making it harder to thread it through the eye of needles. Small, sharp scissors are a real help here and work quickly and comfortably.

Fabric scissors for textiles

Fabric scissors are actually suitable for most types of textile. However, we recommend using larger scissors for heavy fabrics such as denim or velour than for finely woven cotton. The blades are then longer and heavier. If you cut fabrics that are too thick with scissors that are too small, you risk damaging your tools.

Please note Use your fabric scissors only for textiles! The blades glide perfectly over each other; if the scissors are used for other materials, the blades will go blunt more quickly.

Tailor's scissors

With special fabric scissors, like the ones tailors use, you don't need to apply much force. Cutting is almost effortless with a good pair of scissors. Applying too much force can even be counterproductive, especially if there is no material between the blades. The scissors could cut into themselves, leaving a nick in the blade. And damaged scissors leave snags in the fabric, which does not help the finish. With high-quality fabric scissors you are a professional tailor in the making!

Fabric scissors for furniture

Furniture is upholstered, which means you also use fabric scissors when working on furniture. Upholstery fabrics are generally somewhat heavier than fabrics used for clothing. That is why the scissors are often of a heavier quality too, just like the sewing thread. For upholstery fabric, choose large scissors of about 24 cm. Browse our range easily online, together with all the other haberdashery you need as an upholsterer.

Buy fabric scissors

At Bladi Shop you can also buy fabric scissors for left-handed people. When you apply cutting force, the blades are pressed together. Are you left-handed and using scissors for right-handed people? Then the blades are pushed apart, and vice versa. That way you cannot cut fabric properly. Buying fabric scissors for the right hand is therefore recommended. Order easily in our online shop.
