fabric shears (fabric cutters, needleworking equipment, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Hand-held tools, typically comprising two stainless steel blades longer than 6 inches mounted on different-sized finger rings, designed to cut straight, accurate lines in a variety of fabric materials. Unlike fabric scissors, which are equipped with equally-sized finger rings, these shears have a smaller, rounded finger ring for the thumb and a larger elliptical bow for the fingers. This design allows for the user to exert more control over the fabric and ensure that the fabric remains flat while cutting. |
