Ground for textiles: it parts in one pass instead of pushing the fabric along. Made in the size 15 cm. Sold as a single item. Produced from steel.
After cutting, the tool goes back closed or secured, so that nobody reaches into it. Anyone cutting fabric, paper and interfacing keeps a separate tool for each material — otherwise the edge suffers. Fabric shears stay fabric shears: paper and tape blunt the edge faster than sharpening can restore it. Anyone sewing regularly likes to keep such notions in duplicate. These notions fit any sewing drawer and come to hand quickly.
What Prym Nähschere "Prym Love" 15 cm 610541 is suitable for
- Patchwork and quilting
- Unpicking old seams
- Work at a fixed sewing station
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep the edge sharp?
Use it for one material only and store it dry. Cutting paper or tape with it shows after just a few metres of fabric and calls for resharpening.
Do I need a cutting mat?
With rotary cutters, yes, otherwise the blade runs into the table. The mat closes up again after each cut and lasts a long time when stored flat.
When should a blade be changed?
As soon as it leaves threads standing or asks for more pressure than before. A blunt blade drags at the fabric instead of parting it, and the cut edge shows it.
Is there anything for left-handers?
Yes, Prym offers shears with reversed blades and rotary cutters that set up for either hand. The pack states which applies. If unsure, try the tool in your hand before buying.
