    No it definitely damages the blades.

    Fabric scissors need to be sharp so there’s no tearing when cutting and paper is one of the most damaging things to the blades.

    There’s a reason you buy cheap scissors for everyday use while things like fabric or kitchen shears are more expensive because they’re made for specific uses and are made better.

    Yeah using fabric scissors on paper makes the cut better. That’s the whole point of why they’re more expensive. They’re sharper. You don’t need an edge that sharp to cut paper. But you need an edge that sharp to cut fabric
