In this video, I’m sharing the essential sewing scissors every garment sewist should own, plus a few specialty cutting tools that make sewing easier—especially when working with tricky fabrics like silk or satin. I’ll also walk through my favorite tools from KAI and explain how each one helps improve accuracy, speed, and overall sewing success.
