In sewing, which tool is used to cut fabric accurately?

• A. Pins
• B. Tape Measure
• C. Scissors
• D. Sewing Machine

Answer: (C)

Cutting fabric accurately comes down to using a tool that provides clean, controlled edges along a drawn line. Scissors are designed for this purpose in sewing: the sharp blades let you follow pattern lines precisely, adjust your grip for smooth curves or straight cuts, and produce a clean edge without snagging the fabric. Pins are for holding pieces together, not cutting. A tape measure helps you mark and verify measurements but doesn’t cut. A sewing machine handles stitching and can trim threads or seam allowances, but it doesn’t cut the fabric itself with the same direct, precise control as scissors. So the tool best suited for cutting fabric accurately is scissors.
