In garment sewing, to get an accurate fit, you're supposed to cut the edge so that the inside edge (valley) of the pinking is next to the indicted cutting line.
Then in sewing, you measure the seam allowance from the valleys of the pinked edge.
OK...Then I'm doing it right.....thank you for this information...:)
I usually used flat felled, French seams or Hong Kong finished seams in clothing but for a garment that was only intended to be used rarely (like an evening dress), I sometimes used pinking, particularly with fabrics where a straight cut edge would show through on the public side of the garment (fine silks, etc).
