Ditto! I use my pinking shears frequently. I always pink the edges of my fabric before washing to keep it from raveling. I wouldn't know how to accomplish this without the pinking shears. I have them sharpened every few years at Joann's. Their guy comes in every couple of months. I's really not a problem to purchase pinking shears, Joann's carries them. Mine are Wiss, I'm not sure what brand Joann's has.
