Has anyone used a pinking rotary cutter. I like the pinked edges on the precuts. Fabric does not ravel on them while working with them. Olfa and Fiskars both make a pinking blade. If you have used it, please let me know how you liked it.
Thanks

I have the Olfa one. I've only used it a couple of times they really liked it.
I find the pinked edges of charms to be difficult to sew since I use a barrier to keep my seams accurate. Pinked edges are a bit weaker. I almost bought one once but decided I wouldn't use it much. Glad you don't find it difficult to sew with a pinked edge.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
I have one and use it almost exclusively, to keep the edges from raveling when I pre-wash. It seems to work well for that. I don't know how it would be for cutting squares.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down the their level and beat you with experience.
This is how I use those blades.Originally Posted by GingerK
Have fun quilting! If it isn't fun, you will miss a lot.

I have one for my Olfa cutter but don't use it much. It really eats up my mat.
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
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've used mine for cutting out silk pieces. It worked well.

trying to stay grateful
I have 1 but only use it for things I don't want to hem (banners and Christmas curtains) so far.
I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!
I bought the Olfa one to work with some Minkee fabric and thought it was great. Also have used it to trim fabric before washing to see if it helped the fraying, which it did.
