I made a rag quilt using the pinking rotary blade. (squares all have pinked edges) After the quilt is finished, you can leave the pinked edges vs cutting them as done in the traditional rag quilts. The pinked edges frayed just a bit.

I have also made fabric bookmarks with scraps. They are fun to make. Here is a photo of the book marks.

The pinking blade really but up my mat also. I used it on one of the large hard plastic mats also and I can still see the lines.

I don't use my scalloping cutter for quilting...but it is a great tool in my card making supplies! And yes..it can destroy the edge of a ruller..

I bought the scalloped one to prevent fraying. I find it really hard to "saw" through the fabric with it, but it does seem to prevent as many threads in the wash. It is very hard on the mat, and I haven't tried using it near a ruler.

I pink my fabric before I prewash.

Use an old non-healing Fiskers mat to cut on as the pinking blade cuts up mats something terrible.

I also use a long metal carpenter's rule to cut along: pinking blades easily nick our precious rulers.

The combination of rock hard mat with the metal ruler makes pinking the edges go lickity split!

I do have a pinking rotary cutter and I do use it when I remember that I have it, but I like how it works.

I have one and only use it occasionally - it does eat up the mat so you have to be careful.

I have the scalloped edge one, bought to use on batiks we didn't want to hem for my daughter's reception tables. Worked well, but really chewed up my mat!

Yes I have used the olfa pinking blade. It worked great.
