Product Description
PIN-7300 Professional Tailoring Scissors
The PIN-7300 Professional Tailoring Scissors are premium 12-inch (approximately 30.5 cm) fabric cutting shears finished with a Japanese-style, laser-sharpened blade for smooth, controlled cuts through everyday and heavier apparel fabrics. Best for tailors, boutique dressmakers, garment factory cutting teams, textile workshops and serious home sewists who need a long, precision blade for cotton, denim, silk, suiting and similar fabrics. The extended 12-inch stroke covers more fabric per cut than standard 8–9 inch dressmaking scissors, cutting down the number of repositioning moves needed across large pattern pieces and multi-layer fabric stacks.
Why Choose the PIN-7300 Tailoring Scissors?
The PIN-7300 is built around a Japanese-style blade geometry finished with laser sharpening rather than standard mechanical grinding — product references describe this as producing a finer, more consistent edge that holds up better across repeated daily cutting than a basic grind. That consistency matters most in shops where the same pair cuts dozens of panels a day: a duller or unevenly ground edge shows up quickly as snagged threads or puckered cut lines on fine fabrics like silk. The ergonomic coated handle is shaped to reduce hand fatigue during long cutting sessions, and the adjustable center pivot lets you retighten blade tension yourself as the scissors break in, rather than sending them out for resharpening the moment they feel loose.

Best Fabric Types
| Fabric Type | Suitability |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Excellent |
| Denim | Excellent |
| Suiting Fabric | Excellent |
| Polyester | Suitable |
| Silk | Suitable |
| Wool | Suitable |
| Linen | Suitable |
| Leather | Suitable for appropriate thickness |
| Canvas | Suitable for appropriate thickness |
| Upholstery Fabric | Suitable depending on thickness |
For very thick leather, canvas or layered upholstery, cutting performance depends on material thickness and layer count. Test the scissors on the actual material before production cutting.
Who It’s For
The PIN-7300 suits a wide range of cutting environments: tailoring shops and boutique dressmakers doing daily custom cutting, garment factory production teams working through multiple layers, textile workshops producing suits and uniforms, and home sewists or quilters who want a longer, sharper blade than typical household scissors. Typical applications include garment cutting, dressmaking, suit and uniform cutting, pattern cutting, alteration work, and quilting or general fabric projects.
Independent, Hand-Operated Tool
The PIN-7300 is a hand-operated cutting tool — not a sewing machine attachment, presser foot or spare part — and needs no installation or machine setup. It works independently of any sewing machine, so it’s equally useful in a cutting room, a home sewing space, or alongside any brand of machine.

How To Use
- First, lay the fabric flat on a suitable cutting table and smooth out creases.
- Next, mark the cutting line or position the paper pattern.
- Then, hold the scissors with the handle fully supported for a steady grip.
- Begin cutting from the heel of the blade, keeping a steady angle along the marked line.
- Use the full blade length for long, straight cuts, letting the 12-inch stroke cover more fabric per pass.
- Avoid forcing the blades through material that’s too thick for a single pass, and finally, wipe the blades clean and store them safely after each use.
For best results, keep the blades clean and dry between uses, and avoid using fabric shears on paper, wire or other materials that dull the edge faster than fabric cutting does.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PIN-7300 suitable for professional tailoring?
Yes — the PIN-7300 is built as a premium fabric-cutting scissor for tailoring, dressmaking and garment work, not a household craft pair. Its 12-inch Japanese-style blade gives a longer cutting stroke than standard 8-inch tailoring shears, which is why shops cutting dozens of panels a day tend to prefer the longer format — fewer repositioning moves per seam line means faster, more consistent cutting across a full workday.
Can the PIN-7300 cut denim?
Yes. The PIN-7300 handles denim and other heavier apparel fabrics well in a single or light double-layer pass, but very thick multi-layer denim (folded waistbands, stacked panels) can strain any fabric shear. A useful test: if the blades start to slip rather than glide through the layers, thin the stack before cutting rather than forcing it, which speeds up blade dulling over time.
What size are the PIN-7300 scissors?
The PIN-7300 measures approximately 12 inches (30.5 cm) overall, noticeably longer than the 7–9 inch scissors in most home sewing kits. That extra length isn’t just for show — a longer blade completes a straight cut in fewer strokes, which matters when cutting long pattern edges or fabric bolts rather than small trim pieces. For tight curves or detail work, keep a shorter secondary pair on hand alongside it.
Are PIN-7300 scissors suitable for leather?
Suitable for lighter-to-medium leather thicknesses, yes — but leather is denser and less forgiving than woven fabric, so performance depends heavily on hide thickness and how tightly the blade edges meet. Test on a scrap corner of the actual hide before committing to a pattern cut; if the blades bind or need noticeable extra force, the leather is likely too thick for this shear, and a rotary leather cutter is the better tool.
Can the PIN-7300 cut silk and other delicate fabrics?
Yes, with a light touch. A sharp, well-maintained blade like the PIN-7300’s actually cuts silk more cleanly than a dull pair, because a sharp edge shears the fibers instead of pushing and puckering them — a common problem with worn scissors on slippery fabric. Lay the silk flat on a non-slip surface, avoid lifting it mid-cut, and keep the blade moving in one continuous stroke for the cleanest edge.
Complete Your Cutting Setup
The PIN-7300 belongs in our Cloth Cutting Scissors range alongside the rest of your cutting toolkit. If you want to compare sizes with our Jupiter tailor scissors, the 9, 10, 11 and 12 inch Jupiter line is a lighter-weight alternative. For faster cutting on lighter fabrics, PIN’s cordless electric fabric scissors make a good powered companion to the PIN-7300 for mixed workloads. Add pinking shears for finished seam edges when a project needs a fray-resistant zigzag edge instead of a straight cut. And to keep the blade performing like new over time, keep our scissors sharpener in mind for periodic resharpening.
