Product Description
Polka Dot Embroidery Scissors 3.6" (9.3 cm)
Neat, sharp and sized for control, the Sew Tasty Polka Dot Embroidery Scissors are a reliable everyday pair for quilters and stitchers. At 3.6" (9.3 cm), they balance compact proportions with enough blade length for accurate snipping. Straight-edge stainless blades finish threads cleanly without fraying, while the refined points reach precisely into tight areas—useful for unpicking a single stitch, trimming appliqué turn-unders, or tidying jump threads in machine embroidery.
The moulded handles sit comfortably in the hand and feature a cheerful polka-dot finish in Pink, Purple, Green or Teal—easy to spot in a notions tray and simple to colour-code for different threads or tasks. The twin-loop shape offers control for right- or left-handed users who prefer smaller embroidery scissors for fine work. A modest overall footprint means they slip into a portable kit or machine drawer without fuss, and the blades close and align positively for a crisp, repeatable cut.
These scissors are intended for fibre work: cotton, polyester, silk and most standard embroidery threads. They shine beside the sewing machine for trimming tails before chain piecing, at the ironing board for clipping corners, and in hand-sewing sessions for English paper piecing, appliqué or sashiko. The precise points help when grading seams or snipping fabric notches up to, but not through, the stitching line. For bag making and general craft, they’re a dependable companion for ribbon ends, interfacing tabs and label threads.
Built for quiet utility rather than show, this is a practical, well-finished tool that earns its keep. Keep a pair at the machine and another in the hand-sewing pouch; the small size and distinctive colours make that easy.
