When you hear the name Fiskars, you probably think scissors - but the wonderful world of Fiskars quilting supplies has so much more to offer! Fiskars began in a small Finnish village of the same name. Since 1649, it has grown from an ironworks manufacturing bar iron, nails, knives, and other practical everyday items, to a thriving global company that manufactures high-quality crafting tools, home & garden tools, cookware & cutlery, and professional grade building tools. As you can imagine, they have a long and storied history which you can read about on the Fiskars quilting website.
Fiskars Scissors: A True Icon
Let’s fast-forward to the 20th century: following the Great Depression and World War II, Fiskars began mass-producing products for the first time. This was quickly followed by exploring the use of plastics in manufacturing, and that’s when the iconic orange-handled Fiskars scissors we all know and love made their appearance. Believe it or not, these were the world’s first plastic-handled scissors, and to this day they are one of the most recognizable products in the Fiskars quilting collection with 1 billion sold. In fact, the Fiskars Orange™ color is even registered as a trademark in both Finland and the United States!
Other Fiskar Cutting Tools
In addition to those orange-handled scissors we all know and love, Fiskars rotary cutters are also a favorite among quilters! Other Fiskars quilting tools include thread snips, seam rippers, and Fiskars rotary cutter blades to fit your Fiskar rotary cutter.
Fiskars quilting products are designed to meet the needs of quilters, providing high-quality tools and accessories for creating beautiful quilts and other creative sewing projects.
