Westcott 5.5-inch Rag Quilt Snips
Use these snips when a rag quilt calls for repeated short clips into the exposed seam allowances.

Use these snips when a rag quilt calls for repeated short clips into the exposed seam allowances. The short profile and serrated edge help you position successive cuts. Compare their layout with a long fabric shear when your work is mostly cutting larger pieces to size.

Fit and buying advice
Plan the clip depth from the quilt pattern so the cuts stop before the stitching. The listing identifies the 5.5-inch tool and titanium-bonded blade treatment. The tool length does not describe the depth of each snip.
Questions about this tool
Would this replace long shears?
Choose the snips for frequent short clips. Use longer blades when reach along a continuous edge matters.
Can I clip right up to the seam?
Leave the stitching intact and follow the pattern for clip depth and spacing.
Is the full 5.5 inches cutting edge?
That measurement describes the entire tool.
