Embroidery Scissors & Thread Snips - Small Scissors for Detail Work

Small scissors for precise work - in the embroidery hoop, at the sewing machine, and wherever fine cutting matters.

Every sewist, embroiderer, and maker eventually discovers that a large pair of scissors is the wrong tool for trimming a thread tail, snipping into a seam, or cutting close to a French knot. This collection brings together SOHMO’s small scissors and snips - each with a slightly different personality, all designed for the close, careful cutting that larger scissors can’t do.

Italian-made embroidery scissors - the Ricamo and Lecco are handmade in Italy with 24k gold-plated handles, each arriving in a gift box with foam insert and microfibre cloth. The Ricamo has fine, pointed blades for precision detail work at the hoop. The Lecco has a slightly different blade profile suited to thread trimming, appliqué, and general embroidery use. Both are the kind of scissors you keep on the table because they’re too beautiful to put away.

Italian thread snips - the Thread Snips and Squeeze Snips are spring-loaded Italian scissors designed for one-handed trimming at the machine or hoop. Open your hand, snip, release. No repositioning, no putting down and picking back up. The Thread Snips have a straight knife-edge blade; the Squeeze Snips have fine pointed tips for getting into tight spaces.

Go-To Scissors - SOHMO’s custom-designed scissors in their smallest size. Sharp, lightweight, and comfortable through long sessions. The micro-serrated blade grips thread and fabric as it cuts rather than pushing it away from the blades - particularly useful for fine work where precision matters.

Matchbox Scissors - airline-safe, and designed to live in a project bag. The smallest pair in the range and the one most likely to be within arm’s reach wherever you’re sewing.
