Thread snips are small cutting tools that are used for tasks requiring fine and detailed control.
They have short blades and are designed to make small cuts, such as trimming threads close to the fabric, cutting seam allowances, and trimming yarn.
Thread snips are often spring-loaded, which means they automatically open after you make a cut, allowing you to cut in one step instead of two.
They can be used for sewing, knitting, crochet, macramé, weaving, embroidery, and quilting.
Thread snips typically have two short and sharp blades and a handle. Some designs include a finger loop so you can securely wear the thread snips on your ring finger.
This design helps prevent accidental dropping of the scissors. Most thread snips are very sharp and make clean cuts in light and heavy-weight fabrics. They are primarily designed for light to medium weight textiles, but stronger thread snips will be able to cut through thick fabrics like denim.
Here are some common uses for thread snips:
- Trimming seam allowances
- Cutting off excess thread close to the fabric
- Trimming curves and corners
- Trimming fringes
- Layering seams
- Clipping notches into fabric
