Product description
Small scissors for embroidery and threads: 11.5 cm of precision next to the machine
Small D.PERES SOLINGEN scissors with a total length of 11.5 cm, with 5.5 cm blades. These are the scissors that stay close to the sewing machine or the embroidery hoop: you cut a thread at the end of a seam, clean thread ends from the reverse side of the fabric, and get into small corners that large scissors can't reach.
The scissors are made in Solingen, Germany, with strong, sharp steel blades and a steady central screw joint. The black handles are comfortable to grip and allow precise control of the tips, even during long stretches of embroidery or finishing work.

Tips for caring for small scissors
Only for threads and fabrics: Paper, plastic and metal wire quickly dull the blades
Cut with the tip of the blade: Use the tip for a single thread, and for thicker material use the middle of the blade, near the screw
Keep in a sheath: Return the scissors to the packaging or a sheath, to protect the tips
Cleaning: Wipe lint and thread scraps from the blades and the screw after working
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Using large fabric scissors for threads: It is hard to control the tip and you may cut the fabric itself
Leaving the scissors open on the table: The tips may get damaged and cause injury. Close them after each use
Cutting metal wire or thick nylon: This damages the blade's sharpness. For such wires, use a dedicated cutter
Embroidery scissors and fabric scissors: why you need both
A question that comes up for anyone starting to sew: if you have good fabric scissors, why do you also need small scissors?
Fabric scissors: A long blade for cutting the pattern. In small corners and when cutting threads close to the fabric they are too big and hard to control
Small scissors like these: A short blade and a thin tip: you cut a thread at the end of a seam, clean scraps from the reverse side and get into notches in the seam allowance
Protecting the fabric scissors: Every thread cut that moves to the small scissors saves wear on the large blade
That is why a seamstress's basic cutting kit almost always includes two pairs: large fabric scissors and small scissors for threads.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the length of the small scissors?
The total length is 11.5 cm, and the blades are 5.5 cm long.
What are small scissors used for in sewing?
For cutting threads at the end of a seam, cleaning up thread remnants in embroidery, opening short seams and cutting notches in seam allowances.
Where are the scissors made?
The scissors are made in Solingen, Germany, under the D.PERES SOLINGEN brand.
Can fabric be cut with them?
You can cut small pieces of fabric and corners, but for cutting a whole pattern it's better to use long fabric scissors of 23 cm and up.
How do I keep the scissors sharp?
Use them only for threads and fabrics, keep them in a sheath and clean off lint and thread remnants after working.
What is the difference between these and the 9 cm embroidery scissors?
9 cm embroidery scissors, such as the Kretzer and the DMC, are smaller and intended for close work on the hoop. The 11.5 cm model gives a longer blade that is also comfortable for cutting threads next to the machine and for small cuts in fabric.
What does the SOLINGEN marking mean?
Solingen is a city in Germany identified with the production of scissors and knives. The name is protected by German law, and may be marked only on products whose main production took place in the area of the city.
Are the scissors suitable for left-handed users?
The model is built for the right hand. Anyone who cuts with their left hand will prefer dedicated left-handed scissors, in which the order of the blades is reversed.
Are they suitable for machine embroidery?
Yes. They are convenient for cutting jump threads between embroidered areas and for cleaning thread ends on the reverse side of the work.
Can I order a quantity for a store or a class?
Yes. For bulk orders of D.PERES scissors you can contact us.
