Shop William Whiteley scissors and Wilkinson shears in New Zealand for dressmaking, tailoring, embroidery and craft. Compare Classic and Noir fabric shears, left-handed models, pinking shears, precision thread clips and sewing gift sets.
Choose the right Whiteley or Wilkinson scissors
- Dressmaking and tailoring: compare Wilkinson Classic fabric shears in 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch sizes. The sidebent handle helps the shears sit flat along the cutting table. Choose a size and weight you can control comfortably.
- Left-handed fabric cutting: select the dedicated 8-inch left-handed Classic shears or 10-inch left-handed Classic shears. Handedness matters; do not assume a standard pair suits both hands.
- Embroidery and thread trimming: use fine-point Epaulette needlework scissors for detailed work, or curved-tip thread clips for trimming loose threads close to your sewing.
- Pinking and specialist cutting: Wilkinson pinking shears make a zigzag fabric edge. Compare Workmaster shears for thicker materials and PTFE-coated fabric shears for adhesive-treated fabrics. Check each model's intended materials before use.
- Finishes and sewing gifts: explore Noir shears, rose gold fabric shears and the three-piece black fabric cutting set. The set combines fabric shears, needlework scissors and thread clips.
- Everyday and workshop jobs: choose everyday scissors for light cutting or DIY shears for their specified tougher materials. Keep these separate from your dedicated fabric scissors.
Compare overall length, cutting length, weight and handedness on each product page. Keep blades clean and dry, protect the tips during storage, and follow the care guidance for your chosen finish.
