Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right Famore scissor for my project?

Match the blade length to the task: 3.5–5” for embroidery, applique, and trim work; 6–7” for general sewing and quilting; 8–10” for cutting yardage and multiple layers. Blade style also matters — curved for applique and in-the-hoop, serrated for slippery fabrics, and straight razor-edge for wovens and garment work.

What is the difference between tailor shears and fabric scissors?

Tailor shears are long-bladed (8–10”) with a bent handle that keeps the bottom blade flat on the table during cuts, reducing fabric distortion. Fabric scissors are a broader category that includes shorter blades designed for general cutting, trimming, and detail work.

How do I keep my Famore scissors sharp?

Never cut paper, tape, or non-fabric materials with your fabric scissors — this is the fastest way to dull them. Clean blades after use with a soft cloth. When sharpness decreases, have them professionally sharpened or replace the blade if applicable. Avoid dishwashers and moisture exposure.
