I attached fabric to one side and cut out my desired item, however, the scissors became impossible to use. What kind of scissors do you recommend?

You can use goof off to clean the scissors. In future, fiskars make a scissor that is coated with teflon. Those will work better, but will likely need to be cleaned anyway.

They should work just fine. The scissors are quite sharp and cut light/medium weight fabric great but not very heavy duty and don't cut really heavy fabrics very well.

Very good question...I don't know..hadn't thought much about that. I am having a hard time using the scissors.

Wish I could help, but I too, purchased a blade that would not cut. Lucky for me, that I bought two of them, the other cut just fine. But the one that didn't work, it was like it didn't have an edge on it. Perhaps it didn't. I tried and tried to use it, then finally gave up and put the other blade in and it cut through with ease, like a knife cutting through soft butter. I suggest you return that blade for another.

Scissors will work just fine. If you're worried about fraying you can use a match or lighter to singe the cut edges but it's probably not necessary.

I have not gotten a chance to use it yet so I cannot answer your question adequately. From my point of view, it seems to be a cutter for paper related items and probably not for fabric.

you could probably cut these, but you would need some heavy duty/work scissors! good luck.

I have the same issue - those little plastic bars on the sides have to be manipulated so you can close and cut. I could not find a way around it and do not use it anymore.

Hi Reba, I cut a piece of Kleenex and it cut perfectly. Send a sample to Amazon and have them forward it to me. I will be happy to try it for you and let you know how it cuts on your material.Gene Rubin

You can use regular scissors to cut it. Even children's craft scissors will work.

I have not tried scissors. but based on how well it works on knives I wouldn't try it. I wasted my money on it.

I'm a rightie, but I experimented on a piece of paper --- the scissors appeared to cut the paper easily with either hand. I suggest, though, that you contact the company and ask them your question. Their customer service is supurb.

They do fine on cloth and paper when new....paper wrecks any scissors....and the edge does not extend to hinge as there is a bone notch there......so not a primary sewing or paper shear but instead jack of all trades.

They probably can but I wouldn't choose these scissors for fabric use. They are more of a utility scissor and the blade is scalloped on one side so I don't think you're going to get a good, clean, straight cut.

Yes, I've cut them for several projects, like book-marks. I've used good scissors. I don't know about the other kind of cutters. good luck.

I found myself a pair of scissors that were metal. That was the easiest thing I could think of and seemed to work and, at least, I didn't get a shock. Let me know if that helps. @d_avery@att.net.
