Fraliz · Dressmaking
A softer touch for your sewing room.
A practical fabric-cutting pair with a distinctive pink finish. Fraliz Soft Touch 8-inch dressmaking scissors combine a full-size dressmaking shape with soft-touch coated handles for sewists who prefer a coated grip to plain metal.
A coated handle finish
The pink Soft Touch handles are the defining feature of this pair. Choose them for the handle feel and simple colour, rather than the polished-metal or patterned alternatives.
Full-size fabric cutting
The 8-inch size suits cutting garment pieces and preparing fabric for sewing, alterations and patchwork projects. It is a cutting-table pair rather than a tiny thread-trimming tool.
Angled for table work
The dressmaking handle shape allows the lower blade to work close to the surface. Support the fabric on the table and use smooth, steady cuts along your marked line.

A small tip for a neater finish
Brush away lint and wipe the handles and blades with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking or abrasive cleaners that could damage the coated finish.
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
