Professional Tailor's Shears with Gold Handles – Large 30 cm (12 in.) Model, 20 cm Blade

Large tailor's shears: a 20 cm blade for layers and wide fabrics

Professional tailor's shears with a total length of 30 cm (12 in.), with stainless steel blades 20 cm long and metal handles in a gold finish. The long blade cuts a stretch of almost twenty centimeters with each closing, so the scissors suit cutting many layers and large pieces of fabric.

A strong adjustable screw lets you tune the tightness of the blades. The ergonomic handles, designed with a finger rest, add support that prevents fatigue in repetitive work and gives more control of heavy scissors.

Tips for working with large scissors

• Work on a large table: A 20 cm blade needs room to move on the surface

• Hold the layers: Pins or weights before cutting

• Screw adjustment: With thick layers, tighten slightly so the blades don't spread apart

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

• Large scissors for fine work: For small curves, scissors of 25 cm and under are better

• Lifting the fabric: Layers shift and the pieces stop being identical

• Cutting paper: Dulls the long blade

How to cut several layers without the fabric shifting

Scissors 30 cm long were built for cutting layers and large pieces of fabric. To keep the layers aligned:

• Secure the fabric: Pins along the pattern or weights on the table, so the layers don't slide over one another

• The lower blade on the table: Don't lift the fabric. The lower blade glides on the table and the upper one cuts

• Long closings: Open the scissors wide and close almost to the tip, so the line stays continuous

• Move around the pattern: Instead of turning the fabric, walk around the table and keep a comfortable cutting angle

With heavy scissors like these it is worth working on a cutting table high enough, so the weight falls on the blade and not on the wrist.
