Scissors typically have shorter blades than shears as well as equally shaped handles. Because of their size, they’re perfect for more intricate cutting. On the other hand, shears have one small handle for the thumb and a larger handle for two or more fingers. This allows your hand to better manage the cutting process, which makes for more precise cuts on larger pieces of fabric. Furthermore, shears often have handles that are angled to facilitate cutting fabric on a flat surface.
