Re: [h-cost] Has anyone tried any of these on fabric?
I found a cute little hand cranked machine that does the pinking. I have no idea how old it is but it does the job just fine.

Kathleen, who is finishing Maud's gown..without such shears That's what I kind of figured, but I'm a sucker for neat tools. I do have some rotary blades with designs. I was really taken with all the plastic templates on the website, where, even in these days of draw and CAD programs, you can get ones with umpteen sizes of circles, ellipses, and other geometric shapes, as well as templates for architectural design, and other such things. Should anyone want a template for hand-drawing things like several sizes and styles of bathroom sinks on their fabric, this site has it.

Hard to be sure without a photo of the actual scissors, but I believe I have a pair of these. Terrible. Barely cuts paper. Incredibly cheaply made.
