Am I the only one who has a pinking blade for my rotary cutter? Beats the H
out of pinking shears.

although I'm beginning to think
buying a new pair of Fiskars on sale
every time my pinking shears get dull
might be much less of a hassle
(though wasteful).

You could always donate them to a school or teacher. They will still cut
paper even when they are long past cutting fabric.

I bought a new pair of Gingher pinking shears and had the same thing happen so
I sent them off to Gingher to sharpen. It took them *3 tries* to sharpen them
to my satisfaction. I think they're testing them on wigan or muslin or
something slightly crisp. I ended up sending a piece of the silk
For me, I have to cut one layer at a time. If I try more than that I get the
frayed/mashed effect no matter what pair I use.

I have a pair of Fiskers and have never had any problem, but I think I have
only used them on silk taffeta and plain cotton. Maybe your technique is ok but
the fabric just doesn't want to cooperate?

I have a pair of Ginghers left-handed shears. I can usually make them work if I
hold them with the blades flat of the table, as they are bent to be.

Also, be prepared for different fabrics to prefer one pair or the other. I
have both Fiskars and Ginghers, and which one I use does end up depending on
the fabric.

I had the same problem with my mom's pinking shears; what worked for me was
to apply some lateral stress (twist? Hard to describe) to the handles as I
was cutting, making sure the two edges were pressed towards each other;
giving a good shearing cut. Any kind of gap between blades led to the

Hi, costumers,
I do lots of sewing things. But I can't get pinking shears to work for me. I
have a new pair of Ginghers and an old pair my brother used all the time in his
various design and sewing businesses, so they must have worked for him. I would
believe they might need sharpening, but I do
