Key Features & Benefits

- Ergonomic Bent-Handle Design: The uniquely angled handle keeps your fabric flat on the table, preventing shifting and ensuring absolute accuracy while cutting long patterns.
- Versatile Multi-Material Cutting: Expertly slices through thick fabrics, laminates, pattern paper, cellophane, and card.
- Adjustable Pivot Screw: Features a blade screw so you can modify the cutting tension to perfectly match the weight of your fabric.
Why Choose Fiskars F9863 Shears?
Not all fabric scissors are created equal. The Fiskars 25cm dressmaking shears offer the perfect balance of weight, length, and cutting leverage. The longer 10-inch frame allows you to make sweeping, continuous cuts, reducing hand fatigue and eliminating jagged fabric edges. Left un-maintained, standard shears lose their edge—but with Fiskars’ adjustable tension, you can maintain top-tier performance for years to come.
Pro Tip: To maintain peak performance, reserve these shears strictly for textiles and pattern papers, and occasionally wipe the blades clean of lint.
