You can tell if your sewing scissors need sharpening by observing the following signs

Blunt Cutting: If your scissors are having trouble cutting through fabric smoothly and require extra force, it’s a clear sign that they may need sharpening.

Frayed Edges: When you notice frayed or jagged edges on the fabric after cutting, it indicates that the scissors are not cutting cleanly and may need sharpening.

Uneven Cutting: If the scissors are leaving uneven or jagged edges on the fabric, it’s a sign that the blades have dulled and need to be sharpened.

Nicks and Dents: Inspect the blades for any visible nicks, dents, or irregularities. These imperfections can hinder the cutting performance and indicate the need for sharpening.

Rust or Corrosion: If there are signs of rust or corrosion on the blades, it’s essential to address this issue promptly to prevent further damage and ensure smooth cutting.

Regular maintenance and sharpening of sewing scissors are crucial to maintaining their cutting precision and prolonging their lifespan. Sharpening can be done using professional sharpening tools or by taking the scissors to a professional for sharpening services. See our prices here.
