Did you know?

The difference between “scissors” and “shears” is length and design of the handles.
Scissors are smaller than 10” with two identical handles while shears are 10” or longer with one rounded bow for the thumb and a longer more elliptical bow for two or more fingers.

Shears are ideal for cutting fabric, and you'll need ones with a bent handle if you're cutting out fabric on a flat surface. If you're going to be working with fine or slippery fabrics, choose a pair with serrated blades, which will grip the fabric, giving a better cut.
