Fiskar, I believe, makes a variety of pinking/dagging scissors--a variety of designs. I don't have any, and I've seen them advertised only in art-supply catalogs, so maybe their usefulness is limited to paper. I'm always tempted to try a pair, but I can't decide among wavy-cut, deep pink, deckled-paper-effect, and the more complicated dags...and can't afford to buy them all! Again: maybe no good for fabric....Has anybody tried them? --Ruth Anne Baumgartner scholar gypsy and amateur costumer
