Pinking shears! Are there any good ones out there?
on: June 17, 2009, 05:14:55 PM
I am so tired of using pinking shears that "chop". You know the kind-- they take tiny bites instead of a nice long , smooth cut. I have had mine sharpened but it didn't help very much. I have a serger so I don't use them as often as I used to, but every now-and-again I bring them out -- only to become frustrated!
Is there a brand that you love and would recommend? Thanks for your help.

I have a heavy all-metal pair of Gingers. I haven't had to sharpen them yet so I can't tell you how well they can be sharpened, but they are super sharp and have no problems cutting through fabric.

Thats what I have too. They are heavy & I have never had them sharpened either but they don't need it!

i didn't know you could get them sharpened. i thought i read somewhere to buy cheap ones because they dull quick and couldn't be sharpened. this is good to know. i bought middle of the road fiskers.

I don't know about pinking shears, but I can attest for Gingers. I have there regulars scissors and they rock. I'll never cut with anything else, so if they make pinking shears, I'd bet on those.
