Frequently Asked Questions About Havel's Scissors

What are curved embroidery scissors used for?

Curved embroidery scissors are used to trim threads for needlework such as hand embroidery, beading, needlepoint, applique, cross stitch, and hand quilting. The curved tip of the scissors allows the user to cut very closely to the surface of the work without damaging their work or the fabric in the process. Double-curved embroidery scissors are used for machine embroidery and machine quilting. They feature a curved handle in addition to the curved tip, which makes it easier to maneuver the scissors in tight spaces like under the sewing machine presser foot. 

What are serrated embroidery scissors?

Serrated embroidery scissors are embroidery scissors that feature serrated blades with fine “teeth” to grip the fabric or thread. They’re a great option for when you’re working with slippery materials like silk or want to make small cuts on multiple fabric layers at a time.
