Holding scissors correctly is essential for precise cutting and to avoid injury. The most common grip is the “index finger through the handle” grip. To do this, place your index finger through the larger handle hole and rest your thumb on the opposite side of the handle, just below the pivot point. Your other fingers should curl around the outside of the handle for support.
There are other variations of the “index finger through the handle” grip, depending on the size and shape of your hands. Some people find it more comfortable to place their middle finger through the handle hole instead of their index finger. Others may prefer to hold the scissors with their thumb and forefinger only, without using their other fingers for support. Experiment with different grips to find the one that is most comfortable and effective for you.
