I've had mine for 20+ years and still use them. I make jams and chutneys and a circle of fabric cut with pinking shears and placed round the top just finishes off the jars prettily.

I use them when I make felt Christmas decorations. They make nice edges!

I also have a few pairs of pinking shears and a darning egg. My Dad made the darning egg many many years ago.
Don't use it much any more, I think it's the new age of "get a new one" along with waiting till I get the time to do the darning - after quilting of course.

I have two pairs - my mother's old pair that I use for paper craft and a new pair that I bought 3 years ago.

I use them all the time for different things when making bags & etc.

Yes you can still buy them. However I replaced mine with a rotary cutter with a pinking blade. Love it!!

But have you noticed that most precuts are pinked??

I have both the pinking sheers and the darning egg although mine is not as pretty as the person that showed their's on the first page. I use my pinking sheers all the time when I put fusible interfacing on an applique design and then don't have to clip the edges just use the sheers, saves lots of time. I have a pair that I use for papercrafting since they don't do well with fabric anymore, as well as the pinking blade I like it more for paper don't want any accidents with my fabric.

We did not have a darning egg, when I was growing up. We used an old light bulb. Recycling before it was the in thing. Dianec
