Duckbill scissors

- Duckbill scissors are a pair of funny shaped scissors with a wide flat blade and a slightly angled handle so that your hand is lifted from the fabric while you cut.
The paddle blade (also called the duckbill blade) prevents you from cutting the stitches or the good part of the fabric. At the same time the angled handle allows you to hold the scissors well while the blade is really flat on the material. Using the duckbill scissors you can cut fabric very close to stitches and that’s why they are widely used in making appliques. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
❤️ I always wondered what those scissors were for. Lovely clear demonstration of use. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful, and thank you for watching!
First time I have seen them.
Glad you mentioned that left-handed ones are available.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Glad you like them.
Just came across your video, Olga! Thanks very much for showing our scissors in such a fantastic tutorial!
I would love to review all your products, cutting tools are a necessity for sewing. Perhaps you can contact me via the contact form at the bottom of the page https:/www.ageberry.com
Thank you so much for showing us these scissors, I have just started to do appliqué, they will be a big help. 😊 xx
You’re welcome 😊 If you will do applique, these are absolutely necessary. Much easier towor with them than with regular scissors.
Ohhhh fantastic, I'll have to get myself a pair now. I'll need the left handed ones though, lol. Great videos, as always Olga. Lee x
You'll really use it. I also bought it in the beginning just because I had none, but after that I found out I really like it.
I have always called these scissors pelican bill scissors lol No wonder that my sewing friends would look at me like I had 3 heads, but no one ever corrected me 🙂 Yes definitely great in everyday sewing. Since I do not do embroidery I use them for French seams and baby hems (rolled hem)
Me too! I only learned the "proper" name late in my sewing career. Does it matter how they are called?
@@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry Of course it doesn't matter how they are called as long a they do the job intended for 🙂
@@Sandiegeekno, it matters. Get it right guys
Hi, you should show us the difference with a normal scissors. Then we will have a better idea of it's efficacity
Thank you, very interesting and helpful 💐💐💐 UK
You're most welcome! Thank you for the lovely bouquet of emojis, all the way from the UK!
Fantastic video. I just started embroidery and wanted to learn to do a more seamless cut thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for your feedback!
Make a video on how you did that embroidery design
Thank you for your interest. I use Palette 11 digitizing program for my designs, maybe I will make a video in the future, thanks for the idea.
@@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry I own the Bernette b 70 deco machine and I wanted to learn how to do things like that. I’ve never heard of your program.
@@tatyanasurenyan-krech6372 Palette is the Babylock version of the PE Design from Brother, the two are virtually identical. It just happened that I bought it from a Babylock dealer. Very expensive system and a very steep learning curve, but once you know how to use it, it really allows you to work with embroidery designs.
I have a pair too. wish the finger holes were larger. Can get uncomfortable if need to use them a while. I have a 3rd hand that I use along with these for trimming seam allowances. It will keep the fabric pulled tight for easier cutting. This was another good video with useful information.
I am with you with the finger holes, I have also a small version for small details which has this problem. There are larger versions though. But you lost me with the 3rd hand, I hope you mean you have a helper?
Thank you Olga.
My pleasure!
Thanks..i got some from my mom..i knew what they were for but not how to exactly use them. thanks
Thank you; I also did not really know what they were for until I needed them. Then I found out they are very useful sometimes!
Thanks! I learned much!
You're most welcome! I'm thrilled to hear that you learned a lot from the content. If you ever have any questions or need more tips, don't hesitate to reach out.
Lovely demo. Can you tell me the brand you are using with raised handles thanks
Thank you for watching and commenting! I used Famore brand in the video, here is my affiliate link if you plan to buy them - amzn.to/3WRt6G2
Thanks very helpful video
Thank you; glad it helped!
I'm always accidentally snipping seams too close in my projects. This looks like an excellent tool to keep my hand steady and the cuts neat.
Right on! That is the exact purpose of the scissors, to avoid cutting the seam when cutting the extra material after finishing the seam.
Thank you so much for the video.
It's my pleasure; thanks for watching!
Thanks I just found a pair in some tool they gave me and didn't know what they were for
Glad I could help!
I love sewing so this is going to my sewing box I have a pedal seeing machine from late 1800s or early 1900s I worked at at Company sewing curtains the women were surprised because I'm a man
Do you know how to sharpen these type of scissors? Thank you.
Any scissors can be sharpened somewhat with the needle trick: you take an old needle and pretend to "cut" it. Place it in the scissors at about 45 degrees angle for that. But I think for best results you should try a professional service, even if these are not cheap. It may be cheaper to get a new pair of scissors.
Can you (or anyone viewing) advise what is a good brand of these duckbill scissors?
I have a Famore brand, they are very good.
Are they good for heavier materials such as canvas and denim? I have small curved emb scissors I use for quilting cotton applique but am needing a heavier duty pair
Well, we are not cutting big pieces of fabric here, the scissors are for intricate cuts when you make appliques mostly and for cutting embroidery threads close to the fabric, etc. My scissors are sharp and they would cut canvas and denim, they cut batting perfectly, stabilizer, felt. I have never used canvas for appliques. But I think it's better to buy brand name scissors, I am not sure about no name ones. Also, there are different sizes of duckbill scissors, so you might look onto it.
Well done 👍
Thank you for watching!
Thank you. Yours, Ann
Thank you too!

Thank you!
I can’t hear you. Needs captions.
Done !
