    Default Pinking Shears recommendations

    I realized last week that my grandmother's old pinking shears aren't cutting it anymore (hehe). Any recommendations?

    Well I tried to get mine sharpened and was told to hang them up. I have. Haven't used them in years. I have several Fiskers that I use, but no pinking. If they make some, I'm sure they will be good. The shears I had were Weiss.

    I have a pair of Fiskars they work great. Don't use them much though.
    Also having pinking blades for my rotary cutter that work well.

    I bought the pinking blade for one of my rotary cutters. It works great and I use it anytime I'm cutting very much. The ravels drive me crazy (Yes, I know it is a short drive. No sense in starting the car, LOL). It makes for a much neater back side of the quilt top.

    I have a pinking blade for my rotary cutter. If you want a pair of pinking shears, Fiskars work well and are affordable. I have two pairs of the old Wiss shears you mentioned and neither of them work well anymore.

    I got a pair from Kai Scissors

    As with all their scissors, the pinking shears are great.

    I'd definitely vote for the Kai if you are seriously considering a GREAT pair. I have a pair of Ginghers and a pair of Wiss but don't use them much.

    I have to say, though Bob is disturbed by frays, I'm more concerned about strays and I understand he may be needing a home . . .

    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    My Fiskars pinking shears do a great job.

    I have one pair of Gingher pinking shears - they work great but they are heavy - I also have the pinking blade for my rotary cutter - I love that too.
