Fraliz · Dressmaking
A classic for your cutting table.
From laying out a dress pattern to cutting the last facing, a dedicated pair of fabric scissors earns its place in every sewing room. These Fraliz 8-inch carbon steel dressmaking scissors pair an understated polished-metal finish with a full-size dressmaking shape.
Fabric cutting, first
The longer blades suit cutting garment pieces and making continuous cuts through fabric, rather than the small snips you would make with embroidery scissors.
Traditional metal handles
An all-metal design for sewists who prefer a classic pair without patterned or soft-touch handles. The angled handle shape lets the lower blade work close to the cutting surface.
A useful sewing-room staple
Keep them at your cutting table for dressmaking, alterations and fabric preparation. A separate small pair is useful for trimming threads at your machine.

A small tip for a neater finish
Lay fabric flat, support it on the cutting surface and use steady cuts. Do not force thick bundles or cut across pins.
Choose the right tool: Use this larger pair for cutting fabric, with small embroidery scissors alongside for thread ends.
Keep your scissors at their best
Wipe the blades clean after use and store them dry, with the blades closed. Reserve them for sewing materials; use separate tools for paper, wire, pins and heavy-duty cutting. Keep sharp points out of reach of children.
Good to know
Are these for cutting out patterns?
Use them to cut fabric around your pattern pieces. Keep a separate pair for paper and card so your fabric scissors stay dedicated to sewing.
