For embroiderers and quilters needing to trim threads and appliqué close to the stitch line, these 6-inch duckbill scissors are the correct tool for the job. The offset handle keeps knuckles clear of the work surface, whilst the duckbill blade protects the underlying fabric from accidental cuts.

Key features

  • Wide duckbill blade lifts the top fabric layer and protects the material underneath.
  • Double-bent offset handle provides knuckle clearance for flush cutting on flat surfaces.
  • Features one sharp, pointed blade for the precise trimming of threads and fabric edges.
  • All-metal construction with a distinctive blue finish for easy identification in a toolkit.
  • Assembled with a flat-head screw pivot for blade tension adjustment.

Who it's for

A core tool for UK-based embroiderers, quilters, and appliqué artists who require clean, close cuts without risking the foundation fabric. Also suitable for general sewing, rug making, and other textile craft where precise surface trimming is needed.
