Having the right scissors on your sewing table makes every step of bag making easier, from cutting fabric and interfacing through to trimming threads and refining details.

Whether you’re working with quilting cotton, waterproof canvas or vinyl faux leather, a good pair of scissors gives you better control, cleaner cuts and a more enjoyable sewing experience.

Choosing the Right Scissors

Different types of scissors suit different parts of the bag making process.

• Fabric scissors for cutting pattern pieces and larger sections
• Smaller scissors for trimming threads and detailed work
• Dedicated scissors for different materials to keep blades sharper for longer

Many bag makers like to keep one pair just for fabric to maintain that smooth, precise cutting performance.

Scissors and Rotary Cutters

Scissors and rotary cutters each have their place in bag making.

Rotary cutters are perfect for long, straight cuts and working with rulers, while scissors give you more flexibility when cutting curves, trimming seams or working in tighter areas.
