The Robuso thread clippers 258/TFL 4.5" (11.4 cm) are fully Teflon-coated and nickel-free thread clippers with straight blades for trimming threads at the sewing machine.
This model is also available with curved blades: Robuso thread clippers 259/TFL 4.5" (11.4 cm) – bent
Thread clippers – also called ring-finger, thread or trimming scissors – are guided with only the ring finger through the single eye. The scissors rest open in the palm, the fingers stay free to work, and to cut a thread the blades are briefly squeezed together; an internal spring reopens them. The screws have a special nut lock.
Models with straight blades are for precise trimming of threads at the sewing machine (not for unpicking seams). Bent blades are used at final inspection: they reach the thread on the surface and prevent damage to the fabric. Available in ROBUSO master quality (nickel-plated or Teflon-coated and nickel-free), PELLORO quality with ball-bearing screw and a stainless ROBUR version.

Frequently asked questions
Straight or bent?
Straight blades for precise trimming of threads at the sewing machine; bent blades for final inspection, because they reach the thread on the surface without damaging the fabric.
Can I unpick seams with them?
No – thread clippers with straight blades are for trimming threads, not for unpicking seams. Weaver's or embroidery scissors are suited to that.
