: For some reason cutting the pattern out with the three bladed shears is the most frustrating for me as for some reason some of the pieces I cut out quite don't fit. I saw some where the three bladed shears that were a smaller size and not as long and suppose to be easier, I can't remember where I saw them. Cans someone tell me where i can purchase the smaller size shears? Thanks
All shears are not the same. They all remove different amounts.Here are some of the thicknesses of the center blade. Fan out .039",Mika .045",Inland .047",James .048". This may be why your pieces don't fit. Your shears may be removing too much pattern.
