You may have seen these funny looking scissors before and wondered what they’re used for. Trust us when we say duckbill applique scissors are a must in any well-provisioned sewing kit. Whenever you are required to grade seams (which means trimming seams down in successive layers so you don’t see the outline from the outside of the garment), applique scissors get the job done perfectly. The curved, duckbill shape of the lower blade protects the lower seam as you cut, allowing you to trim the top seam evenly and ensuring you don’t accidentally cut both layers at the same time. We use ours almost every time we sew, especially for tailoring. These handsome black scissors are emblazoned with our logo, for a little flash of pride with every snip!

From our studio in beautiful Montreal, Canada, we are delighted to ship to makers worldwide. For US & Canadian customers, shipping is free on orders over $150. We are committed to investing in sustainability initiatives to counteract the environmental impact of shipping. We offset our carbon footprint by contributing funds to forest conservation projects for every package shipped.

After you've been notified, average shipping times for the US + Canada is 3-7 business days. International shipments may take anywhere from 12-40 days depending on your location. International customers may be charged VAT depending on their location. Customs and duties on international shipments are the responsibility of the customer.

We leave a 48 hour buffer to allow for cancelled orders. Once your order is cut, it is final. For more questions on shipping and returns, consult our Shipping & Returns FAQ.

Good tools make a difference

Did I need a new pair of scissors? Probably not. Did these scissors make my sewing life easier? They absolutely did.

My partner is a contractor, and every time I feel a certain way about adding to my toolkit, he says that good cutting and measuring tools are always a good investment. These scissors are GREAT for grading seam allowances, trimming seams on lingerie projects or appliques, and for notching/clipping curves. Sharp enough, comfortable to use, and affordable. Schwing!

Always impressed with Core

I wasn't sure what to expect with the Duckbill scissors offered at Core Fabrics. I mean, all the fabric I've ordered is amazing but I wasn't sure if their tools would match that quality. Well I'm happy to say I wasn't disappointed! I have arthritis and cutting can be difficult, especially cutting details or serged seams. I would recommend these scissors to anyone. The blades provide a crisp, clean cut AND with ease. The construction and quality is superb. I dont anticipate ever having to purchase another pair.
