Frequently Asked Questions About Quilting Scissors

What types of scissors are good for quilting?

Quilting scissors like our Mundial Cushion Soft Quilter’s Scissors (IS45) are specifically designed for quilting, making them the ideal option. They feature double knife edge blades to help cut through heavy fabrics and thick fabric layers. Some quilters also prefer sewing scissors with a serrated edge because the tiny teeth help grip the fabric layers. 

What are the advantages of using scissors for quilting?

Though rotary cutters are preferred by many quilters for making lots of straight cuts, scissors can give you more control when cutting curves or tight corners. Otherwise, it’s largely a matter of preference—some sewers prefer the feel of cutting with quilting scissors rather than a rotary cutter.
