[QUOTE=Lori S;6427242]Finding someone who can really professionally sharpen pinking shears is like finding a needle in a haystack( at least where I live)! Many places won't even attempt to sharpen them, or charge so much its cheaper to buy new. "

I think I agree. I have a pair of pinking sissors that i bought at a garage sale for $5 and they are very dull and heavy. I have not been able to find a place to sharpen them that is not expensive. It seems to be cheaper to buy a cheaper new pair at joann or hobby Lobby with 40% off coupon then to spend the money to get these sharpened. I have also heard that you can sharpen pinking sears by cutting a piece of tin foil. This sort of works but is not te same as sharpening. At this time I am still struggling with these sissors since I am too cheap to buy another pair and I do not use them often.
