Zigzag scissors (supervisor)
Zigzag scissors, or serrated scissors, are essential tools in the world of sewing and crafts. They feature blades with serrated edges that form a series of triangles or waves instead of the traditional straight blade. The primary function of these scissors is their ability to cut fabric edges in a way that prevents fraying and unraveling of the fabric. This angular pattern reduces the length of both horizontal and vertical threads exposed to the air.

Key Features
- The key feature of these scissors is their ability to cut fabric in a zigzag or wavy pattern, which greatly reduces the likelihood of fraying (unraveling) at the edges. This makes them ideal for fabrics that are not serged or overlocked.
- It is used to trim excess fabric within the seam allowance in curves. The wavy cut helps reduce pressure and thickness when turning the fabric, making corners and curves look smoother and more professional.
- It can also be used in scrapbooking or making greeting cards to obtain decorative paper edges.
