When I first got these almost a year ago now, I was too nervous to use them to cut out fabric for patterns.

Its 1-pound weight makes it comfortable to use for long periods of time, and makes it easy to maneuver around curves or corners. However, check to see if it comes with one battery or two re-chargeable batteries, as if you do a lot of fabric cutting, to save time it is best to two batteries. RPMs provide enough power to slice right through leather, denim, foam, and almost everything else you can throw its way! Quilters and tailors, who rely on precise cuts to make their final goods, would appreciate its accuracy the most.

The most important thing to consider when choosing your electric scissors is what material you’ll be cutting with them. In the video near the top of this post, I compared cutting silk charmeuse, quilting cotton, stretch cotton spandex, oilcloth (similar weight/feel to vinyl), velvet, fleece, and medium weight leather with the O blade.Battery operated scissors are a good option for someone that is on the go or moving about their sewing room a lot. Similarly, if you plan on using your scissors for more precision tasks, like fabric or leather work that requires cutting shapes and curves, consider a smaller, lighter option that will be easier to maneuver and maintain accuracy.

They're also tough enough that you can use them on leather or metal without worrying about damaging your project - they'll never let anything stand between these blades and their mission: To make cutting as effortless as possible. Equipped with the most modern Li-Ion technology – this universal cutter is ready for action at any time since the well-known discharge of ordinary rechargeable batteries is not an issue here. To use electric fabric shears, first make sure that they're properly plugged into an outlet (or batteries are charged). Anyone who has spent as much time as I have carefully cutting out fabric pattern pieces for clothing will enjoy the faster pace these tools provide. Its battery-powered blades can continuously operate for two hours, and the charger will bring the battery back to full power in just 60 minutes.When I started looking for the best electric scissors for fabric, it was because I thought that they might be a great alternative to regular sewing scissors for my Mum, who suffered with extreme arthritis. Electric scissors use battery power to automate the action of the blades opening and closing and do that at a faster speed than human hands can sustain. This can cause blisters and soreness, when using our electric Cutter, you are not moving your fingers or wrist, the blades do all the cutting.
