Product description
Thread snips with a pointed tip: gets in close to fabric and embroidery
Thread snips made of spring metal with pointed blades. Squeeze both sides of the handle and the thread is cut, and when you release, the snips open by themselves. The pointed tip lets you get under a single thread in embroidery and cut close to the fabric.
A red protective sheath closes over the blades and protects hands and the bag. The handle is made of metal durable for prolonged use, so the snips suit everyday work next to the sewing machine.

Tips for working with thread snips
Lift the thread before cutting: in embroidery, insert the tip under the thread and lift slightly, so as not to harm the fabric
Sheath always closed: the snips are open at rest, and the sheath protects the tip
Threads only: for fabric and ribbons, use scissors
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Cutting thick materials: the blades may bend and lose the fit between them
Storing without the sheath: the pointed tip may get damaged or cause injury
Using it as an opener: may bend the tip
Thread snips in embroidery: how to work with them
The pointed tip of these snips is especially suited to work close to the fabric, in hand embroidery and machine embroidery:
Jump threads in machine embroidery: cut the threads that stretch between parts of the design, close to the fabric and from the top side
Thread ends on the back of the embroidery: insert the tip under the thread and squeeze, without pulling the fabric
Working next to the hoop: the snips stay in the palm of the hand, so you don't need to put the hoop down to cut
After work, close the blades in the red sheath, so the tip isn't damaged and doesn't pierce fabric or a bag.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a thread snip with pointed blades used for?
For quick cutting of threads in embroidery and sewing. The pointed tip slides under a single thread and cuts close to the fabric.
How does the snip work?
Squeeze both sides of the handle and the blades close. When you release, the spring metal opens them.
What comes with the snips?
A red protective sheath that closes over the blades.
What is the difference between it and the snips with the orange sheath?
Both are metal snips with a sheath. This snip has pointed blades and a red sheath, and the bbb snip comes with an orange sheath and is made in Taiwan.
Can I cut fabric with it?
No. The snip is intended for threads. For fabric, use sewing scissors.
Is the snip suitable for left-handed users?
Yes. A spring-loaded snip is held in the palm and squeezed from both sides, with no finger rings, so it is equally comfortable in the right hand and the left hand.
Why does the snip stay open when not in use?
That is the structure of a spring snip: the metal returns the blades to the open position after every squeeze. That is why it is important to close the sheath over it when you finish working.
Which is better for embroidery - thread snips or embroidery scissors?
For quick cutting of thread ends, the snips are faster, because you do not need to put your fingers in. For especially delicate work, such as cutting weave threads in Hardanger, embroidery scissors with rings give more precise control.
How do I clean the snips?
Wipe with a dry cloth, remove thread remnants and lint from between the blades, and dry thoroughly after contact with moisture to protect the metal.
Can I order a quantity for a class or a factory?
Yes. The snip suits equipping work stations and embroidery and sewing classes, and for bulk orders you can contact us.
