Product description
Lightweight scissors with a protective cover: for the sewing bag, the workshop and travel
Lightweight sewing scissors with an overall length of 20.3 cm (8 inches), with stainless steel blades and light plastic handles. What distinguishes them is a plastic protective cover in the color of the handles, which closes over the blades. This way you can put them in a sewing bag, a toolbox or a class bag, without the tips piercing fabric or hurting a hand.
A metal joining screw holds the two blades and allows smooth movement. The scissors come in two colors to choose from, light blue and pink, which is convenient also when several seamstresses work in the same room and each wants to identify her own pair.

Who the scissors are for
Beginner seamstresses: light weight and comfortable grip
Sewing and craft classes: the protective cover keeps things safe in the bag
Teachers and instructors: different colors for quick identification
Home use: for fabric, paper and craft projects
Tips for use and care
Close the cover after every use: this way the tips don't get damaged and the scissors are safe in the bag
Separate fabric from paper: if you use them for paper, it's worth keeping another pair for fabric
Wipe the blades: lint and adhesive from tapes build up near the screw
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Tossing into a bag without the cover: the tips get pierced and bent, and the bag gets damaged
Cutting metal wire and thick cardboard: dulls the blades and loosens the joint
Leaving them wet: wipe them after cleaning, especially around the screw
Sewing scissors with a cover: why the cover matters
A protective cover looks like a small extra, but it does three important things:
Protects the tip: a tip that fell on the floor or got caught in a bag bends, and the scissors stop cutting all the way to the end
Protects the bag and the fabric: an exposed blade in a sewing bag may pierce fabric, threads and bags
Safety: when scissors pass between hands in a class or at home with children, the blade is covered
This 8-inch model is light and compact, and therefore suits especially a sewing bag, classes and travel.
