I have both the pinking sheers and the darning egg although mine is not as pretty as the person that showed their's on the first page. I use my pinking sheers all the time when I put fusible interfacing on an applique design and then don't have to clip the edges just use the sheers, saves lots of time. I have a pair that I use for papercrafting since they don't do well with fabric anymore, as well as the pinking blade I like it more for paper don't want any accidents with my fabric.
