Sewing scissors are specialized cutting tools designed for fabric and thread. They typically feature sharp, pointed blades that allow for precise cuts, making them essential for sewing and crafting projects. The handles are often ergonomically designed for comfort during extended use. These scissors come in various sizes and styles, including embroidery scissors for detailed work and pinking shears that create a zigzag edge to prevent fraying. Proper care, such as regular sharpening and storing in a protective case, helps maintain their effectiveness and longevity.
