What does the size indicate?

The measurement you see (such as 8") is the entire length of the scissor, including the handle.

Which size should I get?

Choosing a size depends on a number of factors, including hand and finger size, the intended use of the scissors, and the strength of your hand and wrist. If you are doing any detail work, choose a smaller size, such as an 8" or 9". If you are cutting long swathes of fabric or batting, a larger scissors, such as 11" or 12", would be suitable.

Depending on the size of your hand you will be able to open the scissors to varying degrees; a smaller hand with shorter fingers will get more leverage from a larger scissors, such as 10", because you will not be stretching your hand open as much as you would have to with a smaller scissors.

If you are struggling to find the right size, we suggest choosing a 9" or 10" scissor.
