How Do You Choose A Good Pair Of Scissors?

With the improvement of people's living standard, the demand for dress is getting higher and higher. The style, texture, cutting and workmanship of clothing become the most concerned factors when people choose clothes. The tailoring of clothing directly affects the later work.

A good scissors can bring a relaxed and pleasant work to the tailor during the whole work. Now I will teach you how to choose a good scissors.

1 method of selecting scissors

(1) look at the steel of scissors.

The best condition for cutting scissors is, of course, the steel is better. Now the top grade scissors are usually made of 440C steel, with a hardness of 58~60, especially domestic scissors. This steel represents the best steel.

Germany and Japan have some 314 steel products (Nissan).

Some people would say that the gloss of scissors is polished. This is true, but no matter how it is polished, the color of light emitted from different materials can not be changed in itself, just a little brighter.

But some scissors are matte.

(2) look at the workmanship.

Scissors are highly dependent on the fineness of workmanship.

To observe the workmanship, first look at the inner edge line (that is, a white light inside the knife edge, for the scissors two contact rail lines), and even if it is smooth, if possible, open the scissors, then feel smooth and close, and feel the smoothness of the Clippers. The two is to see whether the guides are in a "U" shape. The Japanese scissors are biased towards the "V" shape, but the ends must be smooth. Three, it depends on whether the handle is in line with the principles of ergonomics design, whether the scissors grip is comfortable in the hands, whether the fingers will be uncomfortable in the finger rings, whether the edges of the circles are smooth and round, whether the hands and tail are firm, and whether the knives are close when the knives are closed.

(3) try your hand.

If scissors meet the above criteria, there will not be any big problems in hand feeling, but scissors are produced by hand. They can not guarantee the quality of each piece is perfect, and no matter whether it has any quality problems, always feel comfortable when using it. Because each person's finger shape and thickness are different, the handle of each pair of scissors will be slightly different.

But when you try your hand, you must pay attention to the opening and closing. Because of the quick speed, the air scissors will damage the new scissors. Most sellers are not allowed to do so.

(4) try sharp.

Here are two simple methods: one is to take a single layer of tissue paper, spray wet with water, and use a pair of scissors to cut a hole. If the cut is smooth, it means sharp, and scissors rough is not fast; two is to pick a thin cotton thread (cotton thread on towels) and cut it with scissors.

But no matter which way to try, we must obtain the consent of the seller before the trial. The high-end scissors are generally not allowed to try.

All of the above are considered in terms of quality. Besides, we need to analyze the economic conditions and habits of different people, including scissors' brand, price, size and hand shape.

If you want to make two or more layers of fabric trimming accurately, you should choose special scissors. The most commonly used is 24 to 28cm length, that is, scissors with 10#, 11# and 12# on them.

The key to identify the quality of scissors is to focus on the cutting edge of the cutting cloth. First, let's see whether the two blades are sharp, the upper edge of the blade is in a straight line, the lower blade has a slight curve, and the two blade is neat.

Secondly, to see whether the two scissors are equal width or equal thickness, and then hold the handle in the hand, feel good, do not grind hands, not awkward, have the above conditions is the ideal scissors.

In addition, small scissors, also known as yarn scissors, are necessary. They are mainly used for cutting threads or thread ends in small parts of hand seams or seams. They are also very convenient for cutting parts in certain areas.

Choose a small scissors with proper cutting edges and good elasticity.

2 scissors maintenance

In order to maintain the sharpness of scissors and extend the service life of scissors, special scissors are only used for cutting cloth and lining, and can not be used for paper cutting or other things, otherwise it is easy to damage the blade.

After the scissors are used, wipe the blade with the head of the sewing machine to avoid rust and affect the use.

Scissors should be kept properly, and should not be knocked or dropped on the ground.

3 scissors using skills

Scissors should be properly maintained and cleverly used in order to maintain their sharpness for a long time.

After laying the fabric on the cutting bed, the left hand lightly presses the fabric, the right hand holds the hilt correctly, the front part of the lower scissors is attached to the cutting bed, and the hilt is lifted slightly.

When cutting straight line, use the middle part of the blade to cut, and scissors lean slightly outward.

When cutting sharp corners or turning parts, use the blade tip. Do not lift scissors in the process of cutting. Otherwise, the two or multi-layer cutting pieces will be misplaced, which will easily cause errors in the cutting process.
