Bohin brand appliqué scissors / pelican scissors - 15cm (price per piece)

Pelican scissors are essential scissors for dressmakers to create appliqués.

As a reminder, an appliqué is a design that you can sew onto the fabric of your choice. You can create them on many surfaces such as clothing, rugs, pouches... Appliqué scissors are medium-sized scissors with a blade featuring a duckbill tip. They are specially designed to cut the fabric after sewing it and before sewing the edges onto the base. The unique design of these pelican scissors allows you to cut close to the seam line without making holes in your base fabric.

Why prioritize using pelican scissors?
If you try to cut your appliqué fabric with a regular pair of scissors, it will take you a lot of time and the fabric won’t be cut perfectly. That’s why purchasing pelican scissors will greatly ease your fabric cutting. The duckbill scissors allow you to cut the fabric very close to the stitching, which explains why they are often used for making appliqués. Additionally, the curved handles allow for precise cutting by positioning the scissors flat on your fabric. The innovative shape of this cutting tool will help you complete your projects without damaging the fabrics and creations in progress.

The scissors won’t just be useful for making appliqués. They are also ideal for your patchwork projects, mending lingerie, knitwear... These appliqué scissors will accompany you in all your creative and detailed work. They are especially practical for making "handkerchief hems".

How to use pelican scissors?
To use pelican scissors, simply insert the duckbill side of the blade between the fabric you want to cut and the fabric underneath. This allows you to cut the appliqué fabric close to the seam without accidentally damaging the fabric below.

For precise cutting, you can gently pull on the appliqué fabric while cutting. Gently pulling the fabric helps cut the seam accurately.

Cut around your work counterclockwise.
