contact a local quilt or sewing shop and ask if they have a professional scissor sharpener--sometimes the local shops contract with someone to go in every now & then to sharpen shears...good pinking shears are wonderful tools and if cared for will last for generations- they deserve professional care. I have/use the ones my great grandmother had (and I[m in my 50's.,..these are OLD! I take them in & have them sharpened, cared for about every 2 years- depending on how much I use them- sometimes they are used a lot, sometimes only a couple times in a year---just depends. but they can be fixed, sharpened, and passed on to the next generation.
