Product description
Light thread snips for everyday use next to the machine
Orange thread snips, with stainless steel blades and a light ABS plastic handle. Snips like these are held in the palm and cut a thread at the end of a seam with one squeeze, without putting down the fabric and without hunting for scissors on the table.
The orange color makes them easy to find among piles of fabric and thread. The structure is a sturdy metal and the weight is light, so they suit continuous work next to the sewing machine and the serger.

Tips for working with thread snips
Hold in the palm: Cut without releasing the fabric
With the tip: That way you get in close to the fabric without damaging it
Only for threads: For fabric use regular scissors
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Cutting thick fabric or cardboard: Bends the short blades
Leaving them open: The tip is exposed
Dropping on the floor: May separate the blades
How to use thread snips correctly
Thread snips are simple to use, but a few small habits keep them sharp and safe:
Hold like a clip: Thumb on one side and the other fingers on the other side, and squeeze until the blades meet
Hold in your hand while sewing: That way you cut a thread at the end of every seam without looking for the snips on the table
Cut close to the fabric: Lay the blades flat on the fabric, so you don't leave thread tails
Only threads: Fabric, paper and plastic dull the short blades
The orange color helps you find the snips quickly on a table crowded with fabrics and threads.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What are the scissors made of?
Stainless steel blades and an ABS plastic handle.
What are thread scissors used for?
For quick cutting of threads at the end of a seam, next to the sewing machine and the overlocker, and for cleaning threads on a finished garment.
What color are they?
Orange.
How do you use a thread snip?
Hold it like a clothespin, the thumb on one side and the other fingers on the other, and squeeze until the blades meet. When you release, it opens by itself.
What is the difference between these and PRYM thread snips?
The PRYM ones are 12 cm long with an ergonomic two-material handle, for heavy professional work. The orange ones are simpler and lighter, for everyday use.
How do I clean thread snips?
Wipe the blades with a dry cloth, remove thread remnants and lint stuck near the pivot, and make sure to dry after contact with moisture.
Why is the orange color useful?
A prominent color is easy to identify on a table crowded with fabrics, threads and patterns, so the scissors don't get lost among the fabric scraps.
Are the scissors suitable for left-handed users?
Thread snips that are gripped in the palm and close with a squeeze generally suit both the right and left hand, because they have no asymmetrical finger grips.
Can I cut thick overlock thread with them?
Yes, overlock thread and regular sewing thread cut easily. Metal thread, thick nylon and fishing line wear down the blade and it is better not to cut them.
Can I order a quantity for workstations?
Yes. The thread snips suit workstation equipment in sewing factories and classes, and for bulk orders you can contact us.
