I use the ginghers pinkers. They are wonderful for garment sewing. Yes I do still make garments occasionally. And I alter clothing and make purses. Yes they are expensive. But, mine are at least twenty years old and cut like butter. I also have the regular eight inch straight edge, snips and six- inch ginghers. All of which I have never had anything but quality cuts from. I read somewhere that the scissors are made somewhere else now and are not as good. I hope that is not true. Ginghers had such a good reputation.
