Back in 2013, to my horror, I found my once cherished tailor shears in the garage covered in rust. They were missing for quite some time. To this day, no one has confessed to removing them from my workspace.
I replaced those tailor shears a while ago with a pair of red Merchant and Mill's tailor shears. I'm really happy with these tailor shears and highly recommend them if you're looking for a quality pair. Sadly, I'm unable to use them while my dominate hand is in a cast. So I've been on the search for something, anything that will allow for fabric cutting at this time.
I ruled out rotary blade cutters and electric scissors based on cost. Instead, I found something that works and I was able to use my casted hand.
Hello, Ultra Sharp Spring Tension Scissors! I do not have to move my thumb, my pinky, ring, middle and index fingers do all the work. This little tool is a game changer. I managed to cut a t-shirt pattern out of waffle knit fabric. Although it did take me a couple of days broken up with moments icing my fingers. But they worked and I couldn't be more thrilled! These spring tension scissors are certainly a keeper, even when the cast is removed. Hopefully soon.
Have you tried a pair? What did you think about them? Or to you have another preferred cutting tool?
Happy Sewing!

It may be a wise move by the culprit to not confess to taking your shears. Even after all this time, I'm not sure they'd want to face the consequences.
ReplyDeleteI've had a pair of Fiskars shears with the spring handles for a long time. I love them. I don't think I'll ever buy another pair of shears without the spring handles.
