You can even use them to cut multiple layers of batting in one cut. The rounded tips mean they won’t catch on the bottom of the batting or snag it. The handles are completely out of the way of the batting, so there’s no need to stop and adjust your scissors while cutting. And the extra long blades make cutting faster.

These blade can be sharpened, and the following care instructions will help them to last a lifetime. Wipe blades with soft, dry cotton cloth after each use. Apply sewing machine oil monthly to both sides of the screw and along each blade; open/close the scissors several times; then wipe with a soft, dry cotton cloth to remove excess oil.
