Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a bent-handle scissor for quilting?
Flat cutting — the offset handle keeps the lower blade riding the table so fabric never lifts and distorts mid-cut, which is exactly what accurate patchwork trimming needs. The nonstick titanium version adds fusible-web immunity on top.
When is a nonstick blade coating actually needed?
The moment fusibles enter the workflow — cutting through HeatnBond, Steam-A-Seam, and basting-sprayed layers gums standard blades into dragging, tearing cutters. Nonstick coating sheds the adhesive and keeps the cut clean through an appliqué project.
Does home sharpening really restore scissors?
For everyday fabric shears, yes — a pull-through sharpener resets the working edge in seconds and multiplies a scissor's useful life. High-end forged shears and micro-serrated blades are the exception; those go to professional service or stay factory-edged.
