Sewing scissors are made to cut fabric and nothing else – use a good pair on paper or plastic and the edge dulls fast, leaving burred edges on your cloth. Heimerdinger has supplied seamstresses, quilters, tailors and the alterations trade for generations, from dressmaker shears and embroidery scissors to thread snips, pinking shears and true left-hand pairs, which you can browse in the sub-categories below. Every pair we sell can come back to our Louisville counter for sharpening, and if you do not see what you need, call us and we will find it.
