Please ask any questions below and I will try to answer.
Razor: make sure you get the good ones by the case in the *painting* department of your hardware store. I favor Warner brand.
Nippers: Wiss
Shears: Mundial or Wiss
Small scissors: Gingher
The correct pronunciation of Mundial is moon-dee-aal. They are fantastic.
Wow, these applique scissors look genius for the type of work you use them. The safety they provide can't be rivaled by any tool i know. I've never came across with such an instrument but i think it is worthy of researching and buying!
So helpful, you taught me to use the razor instead of seam ripper. Huge speed improvement! Fear not, the razor is your friend! (Except when the grandkids are around.)
Tales well told, thanks.
Thank you! I need better scissors and have no idea what to buy, those big Mundials look just right...
What is the shears # to know and where do you get them
I think you are exactly right in suggesting TEX means textile! The TEX system basically is a thread measurement standard. The higher the number, the heavier the thread. There are 3 basic categories of measure; fine threads are numbered Tex 9 to 20, medium 21 to 70, heavy 71 or higher. I've not seen a TEX chart before with 8 on it but would assume 8 or lower to be superfine, lol!
Thanks!! :)
Cool bideo. I like those Mundial 490-10 (big bolt) you shared. I have a Mundial 2498-10KE (498-10 on box) . How are they different? Mine don't have the big bolt. Box indicates Signatures Series Tailor 10" I would like a more heavier industrial weight for leathers vinyls & sail cloth for hobby upholstery, I used the Gingher Knifes Edge Dressmaker 10" before. Awesome shears as well. How do you feel the Mundial 498-10 compare to Wiss W20 10"?
I feel like, across all models, the Mundials are more refined. They are prettier, have a softer metal, and make a lovely click. They are the Cadillac of cutting. Wiss shears are nothing to look at, feel a little more assertive and serious, and take much more back room abuse than the Mundials do. I have a pile of Mundials that need repair. I don't have any Wiss shears in the pile.
Thanks so much for the info! What size are the smaller shears the second pair you showed?
I'll look when I get back to the studio, & let you know. :)
Keena Dove Gingher Straight Trimmer 5"
Thanks so much! Love your videos!
Just curious why Swiss shears are on your product page and not the Mundials, which you mention preferring here.
No real reason. When I was adding the products, the Mundial's link may not have been working. Statistically though, I buy and use 5 Wiss for every Mundial. Mundials are more enjoyable, but the Wiss are my workhorses. They always last longer.
Edit: I need to go back and add them on there. Thanks!! :)
i switched to plastic handle fiskers because they are so light...i m getting old.
Excuse me would you please recommend which one is best Italian singer or Brazilian mundial scissors ✂️ zigzag type ?
I don't know. You may could ask the supplier that you would order from. Or even read reviews about them.
Yeah
Where do you send your shears to be sharpened. Or do they come to you?
I do them myself. Video coming!! :)
its pronounced Moon-di-ahl ya'll :)
which is better wiss w20 or mundial 490-9 for dress making? Can you give me your thoughts.
Between those two, I think I should choose Mundial 490-9. Those are the ones I most often keep by my machine. I tend to favor them.
Want to buy tailors siccors mundial brand or serra sharp brand want ur contact
I meant to say the least used scissors on the left. Where can I order them?
Can you give me a time stamp to reference? Or do you mean in the thumbnail pic?
Bridal Sewing Techniques , not sure of the time stamp, but the scissors I’m referring to are ones you use to trim lace. The bottom is half moon shape. I truly enjoy your videos. You’ve given me so many helpful tips and tricks. Keep the videos coming, please!
The applique scissors with the paddle-shaped blade on the bottom that keep me from accidentally cutting fabric under what I'm cutting?
Bridal Sewing Techniques yes, those are the scissors I’m referring to.

I need to add these to my website products pg. :)
it would be better if you give us amazon link. you will also earn from amazon associate and we will get to know about product more
shibu_deb Hi! Many of my videos now have Amazon links as I am an affiliate. I shot this video and many others before I joined the program. I need to go back and add links to some of these older videos, and I hope to soon! But, with running a bridal alterations shop & producing roughly 2 videos a week, some things will take time. Please be patient with this limited human & stay tuned. I will add links as soon as I can. Thanks! :)
Thanks madam
