Sharpening Services for Fabric Scissors
Dull and ineffective scissors are the last thing you want to deal with when you’re head’s down in a sewing project. It’s all too easy to make inaccurate and frayed cuts with dull scissors, potentially setting your projects back and wasting your valuable time. Fabric scissors take a beating from always cutting through thick material, so it’s no wonder why they seem to dull at a faster rate than other edges.

Easy Sharpening Test
If you’re unsure whether or not your fabric scissors need sharpening, here’s an easy way to test them:
- Find a thin piece of silky fabric.
- Take your fabric scissors and slowly cut into the fabric.
- If you notice the fabric folding up on the sides of the scissors, they need sharpening.
- If they make a clean cut in the fabric with no folding, they’re good to go.
Pinking Shears
Pinking shears are another commonly used tool when sewing and tailoring. Instead of a straight edge, pinking shears have a zigzagging edge of interlocking teeth. This irregular shape makes them slightly challenging to sharpen because of the different elements of their blades.
For instance, when looking at a pair of pinking shears to determine their sharpness, you should see two different shades of metal. One’s shiny, while the other is typically a matte grey. If you don’t notice a distinction in color, that could mean that your blades have worn down and will need servicing. If you’re unsure just by looking at them, you can perform the same sharpness test used for the traditional fabric scissors.
