Cutter Bee have been working for me for years. I don't even consider any others for fussy cuts.

[@AScrapOfKindness]

Sometimes the problem with a pair of scissors is they need sharpening. Don't know if all Joann stores offer this service, but mine has a gentleman come every two months to sharpen scissors, knives, guillotine paper cutter blades, etc. Many of us can be unaware of how often we really use these tools, and the dulling creeps up on us slowly but surely. After sharpening, the improvement in both the tool and our skill is nothing short of miraculous.

I'm with you on the cutterbees. I have several pairs so I always have a pair nearby. I also like the Tim Holtz Tonic scizzors because of the bigger handle.

[@arashy]

TFS. I didn’t realize the blade thickness would be an issue, but that makes total sense. I don’t care for fussy cutting, but I like Fisker‘s spring-loaded scissors, which don’t have loops for the fingers.

[@kkrolf2782]

I found a pair of those loop-less scissors at a FABULOUS discount once upon a time, and they IMMEDIATELY went back to the store! I could NOT maintain control of those puppies!

[@arashy]

@@kkrolf2782 I can see how loopless scissors could be problematic for some. Hope you found scissors that work for you.

[@bertas-cards]

Just got cutter-bees at Pop Shelf for $3 I love them for fussy cutting. Great video.

[@ingrid2543]

I love scissors! I have a ribbon tied on one for fabric, basic utility ones and ones for specific paper crafting.

[@ladyflimflam]

I had to get rid of my Cutter Bee scissors because of arthritis in my hand. Replaced them with Westcott 6inch Titanium Precision Tip scissors with the huge handles. 6 inches is the overall scissor length, the blades are 2 inches, maybe less.

[@nicolalederer9517]

Hey, Jess, really useful,video! I never worked out that it was the THICKNESS of the blade which influenced wether the scissors were any good at fussy cutting 😂, so thank you for that! I agree with you on the Cutterbees, they are amazing! With the Tim Holzt scissors, I found that they only serrate ONE side of the paper and this changes, depending on which blade is up when you cut. So if you hold the the right way up, you can make sure that your image has the smooth cut and the waste you cut off is serrated. Try it and tell me I‘m crazy LOL but I sure that‘s what they do… Kind regards from Germany, Nicola

[@gaylerobinson6224]

Cutter Bee is my favorite! I have two pair. One has a small piece of ribbon tied around a handle as it's for ribbon only. In my opinion, there's nothing worse than trying to cut ribbon with scissors that have been used to cut paper! Obviously the other paper is specifically for paper!!! I've tried other scissors but nothing beats Cutter Bee (my opinion)!

[@karencooper2703]

Great information. I am a horrible fussy cutter, may be the scissors I'm using. Thanks for the tips.

[@kayefuentes4178]

Thanks for all the great i formation.

[@ericasrainbow71]

Hi, Jess. Once I saw those EK Success Cutter Bee Precision Scissors and how well they work, I immediately fell in love with said scissors, and I even bought myself a pair from Amazon. And yes, it does work really well! 😍I enjoy cutting paper dolls, as well as fussy cutting (with the fussy cutting being for collage-making purposes (for inspiration boards or vision boards)), and now that I have these Cutter Bee precision scissors, I always use them for my paper doll cutting and for my fussy cutting and always have ever since. Thank you for this really useful video! ❤😊

[@stitch_angel_63]

I love my Cutter Bees and I love fussy cutting. I sometimes even fussy cut stamps that I just had die cut. I got a lot of scissors and probably 3 bees. I have strict sewing scissors and paper scissors. I even have 1 pair that I use on both cause I love adding material to my cards. Scissors are great.

[@pamelasertich9850]

I hate fussy cutting. I buy the dies or use my Scan N Cut. Thank you so much for this information.

[@dennissantoyo437]

This was the best KZbin instructional video I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Your explanations and suggestions are very useful and best of all, I could hear AND understand what you were saying! So many others out there could, and should, take lessons from you. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I now know what I need to buy.

[@revCMF]

I use those big 9” Tim Holtz ones for fussy cutting. Grabbed them one time because I couldn’t find my Cutter Bee ones, and was surprised at how well they worked.

[@kkrolf2782]

Is the 9” designation for the whole length? Or for just the blades? (Ty in advance for responding. I mentioned earlier, that I prefer what was once my sewing scissors, which has longer blades.)

[@revCMF]

@@kkrolf2782 according to the package, the blades are 4.75 inches.

[@dianalama1591]

Love my Cutter Bees (2 pair) and my 9” Tim Holtz nonstick. THankYou

[@janinebryan8703]

I have many pairs of scissors but I have gone to Fiskars for the majority they are expensive but durable and very well made but I actually prefer my little yellow cutterbees over all of them for fussy cutting but they are very hard to get and quite pricey here in nz But I’m quite used to fussy cutting now so I can use most scissors if needs be Thanks for the video

[@SusanLillard]

I thought I had a lot of scissors! Glad I am not alone in this department! Have you ever tried the scissors Simon Hurley recommends? Fiskars spring action. I have been attempted. But like you, I like the cutter bees the best. I also keep a generic brand on my craft desk just for cutting sticky tape. Always appreciate your videos.

[@mariaserpa-gauvin8405]

Jess ... great review BUT you need to try the Creative Memories precision scissors!

[@leighgardner6186]

Thanks for the video. The way you held the paper is different also and may be helpful

[@jay_chang]

For the sticky part a trick I use is using Zippo lighter fluid or turpentine (refill into a Zippo can) to wipe off tape adhesive. Then wiping the blade with a tiny bit of Vaseline petroleum jelly and really give it a waxy feel which does makes tape stick less (for regular scissors without non stick coating) Wiping scissors blades with sewing machine oil (all purpose oil) does help in smoothing out the action as sometimes paper can give a powdery texture to the scissors blade after prolonged cutting. Then recently I sort of looking at scissors sharpening tutorial on KZbin, a small steel file for honing edge on scissors as cutting paper can really slowly eat away the sharpness on a pair of scissors. It is frustrating for a favorite pair of scissors to get blunt and those are like a dollar a pair but the scissors sharpening service usually means you could easily buy a dozen of cheap scissors with the money.

[@shirleyh9583]

Thank you for your review on the scissors you own and have tried. I also prefer the Cutter Bee and haven't had reason to buy another brand. You do a great job at fussy cutting, perhaps I just need more practice.

[@pennyf9886]

Great info! I bought the Tim holtz serated and do not like to fussy cut with them. Felt like I hit a wall with fussy cutting. I will try the cutterbee ones. Thanks again!

[@vickidavis4207]

Great video! ❤

[@sandrashaw8343]

I don't know if I just got a bad pair of cutter bee scissors, but mine do not cut on the tip and never have done. I was very disappointed with them. In the UK these scissors are quite expensive. X

[@kkrolf2782]

I, too, was bloody disappointed with the pair I bought here in the States from Michael’s. SO many people had sung their praises, but now they languish in my tool bin.

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Hi Jess. Great video and review. I love and have also had my cutter bees for about 10 years. I do fimd the small handles frustrating if I am doing prolonged fussy cutting. But then again, I am not co stamtly fussy cutting so I will just grin and bear it. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦

[@hilarygreek7830]

I also sew, I have many scissors! I have 3 pairs of various scissors for fabric only. Then there’s the paper scissors and I have bunches of those. I also have all purpose scissors and messy stuff scissors. My husband knows to not touch any scissors in my craft room. 😉

[@mkmousej6745]

This is so timely - just yesterday I added a note to myself to research new scissors. I also struggle with needed a pointed tip so I can trim little bits of paper that my e-cutter sometimes leaves in inner corners. Do you know if the cutter bees would be good for that too?

[@AScrapOfKindness]

I have two scissors that are used in paper tole cutting. They are 4" in length, sharp, and the tips are quite pointed. I have had them for a number of years and highly recommend the straight scissors. The other pair is slightly curved and I have never been able to feel comfortable using them. They sell for $10 at Paper Tole Supply Center .

[@mkmousej6745]

@@AScrapOfKindness thank you so much!

[@kkrolf2782]

@@AScrapOfKindnessT H A N K Y O U for that recommendation!! I’ve sporadically been looking for a QUALITY pair of “cuticle” scissors, as I thought they just MIGHT be able to get in and around the tiny places in fussy cutting projects, since they have curved blades. I’ll give a look at those you’ve mentioned. Thx, again.

[@lisaobrien8060]

I thought the Tim holtz was only serrated on one side. Just flip them over so the serrated side is on the scrap side

[@teresazuehls783]

Thanks for the very helpful video on scissors. I have the spring action Fiskars scissors for many years but not really a fan of the blades. I think they are too thick making it hard to get into tight places. Going to try the Cutter Bee scissors now that I've seen your video. I know lots of crafters use them and I've thought about trying them. Now I will give them a try.♥️

[@MommaBird52]

FYI -- I just bought 2 pair of uncoated cutter bee scissors at local pop shelf for $3 each!

[@antoinettelempicki9775]

My Fiskars spring action scissors snapped apart after owning for many years. Sort of exploded in my hand - surprised me.

[@kkrolf2782]

Hope you weren’t injured!! Did Fiskars replace them for you? I think they offer some kind of guarantee to that effect. You might check their packaging.

[@kkrolf2782]

I much prefer using my “special, old-fashioned ‘silver’ scissors”. In truth, there’s nothing special about them other than they WORK for me, the handles don’t gouge into my arthritic joints, A N D - because of the blade length - I don’t have to start and stop and RE-start my cut around a project!! Every time I have to restart a cut I end up with a flat spot on my curves. I’ve tried CutterBees, also some other lil pair, but would gladly give them to anyone who loves them. As you say, the handle holes are entirely TOO small!! P.S.: Wouldn’t it be a joy, JESS, to know what your Mama’s hand-me-down scissors were made of that keeps them from collecting “stickem” !?!
