Truth be told, I don't like their pinking shears much but after failing to find
nyone to sharpen other brands I've liked better, I've had to resolve myself to
hem.
I'm left-handed and, to my knowledge, Ginghers is the only brand that reverses
the blades, not just the grips. But my Ginghers pinking shears only work if I
can line them up exactly (but, as you said, still better than others.)
I've had good luck sending my regular shears back, though. It is my theory
that, rather than sharpening, they sometimes need the blades re-aligned. I'm
terrible about dropping my shears, and I think that throws them out of whack
(that was NOT considered a good thing to do in a costume shop where I once
worked.)

Hm. It took me 3 tries to get my pinking shears working properly after sending
hem to Gingher to get sharpened. I feel like they only tested on something
risp, and I needed it to cut through lightweight silk charmeuse to finish the
dges. They eventually got it right after I sent samples of what I was trying
o cut but it did take time and effort.
