Just got back from JoAnn's with a new pair of Fiskars Easy-Action Pinking Shears 8" which says :
Spring-Assist, Reduces Hand Fatique, Improves Cutting Accuracy.
I am trying to get fat quarters ready to pre-wash and pinking the edges. This pair of shears locks down on the fabric and I can't get them open and it will not cut 2 layers of quilting cotton never mind 4 it tries to chew through them. It also pinches my hand.
What pinking shears do you prefer? and have you tried these?
The original cost is $44.99 I thought they would be decent. They look like these which are 10".

I bought a pair of Gingher pinking shears about a month ago thinking they would work better than the cheapies I had...nope! I returned them the next day and bought a pinking blade for my rotary cutter. If Joann's is out maybe you can order 1 online from them or Amazon...
Same here! Gingher pinking shears no better than the cheapies!
