I wish I had a pair :oops:

They do sell them, but they are NOT inexpensive. I just use the new 'pinking' blades on my rotary cutter.

yes they still sell them and I still use them.

What a beautiful family. I have a pair of pinking shears from my Mom that are from when she was young. Just keep them to remind me of her. Today they have pinking shear rotary blades.

I use mine often ( I have two pair)especially for fabrics that tend to really fray. I have tried the rotary cutter ones and have not liked the way they cut, not consistent.

Ialso sew so do use my pinking shears sometimes. I remember when I was a kid we werrn't allowed to touch moms' pinking sheers. I knew what a darning egg was but I'm not darning anything.

yes they still sell them.or at least tyey dis about a year ago at walmart

YEP, got them still use them!!!

I still use them. I went to an Estate sale last weekend and bought 2 pinking shears, sewing machine attachments and a lot of embroidery threads.

[quote=justjo46]I use the pinking shears all the time for keeping my material from raveling. My grandmother taught me this. I sew regurlar items of clothing for grandkids. quote]
Ditto! I use my pinking shears frequently. I always pink the edges of my fabric before washing to keep it from raveling. I wouldn't know how to accomplish this without the pinking shears. I have them sharpened every few years at Joann's. Their guy comes in every couple of months. I's really not a problem to purchase pinking shears, Joann's carries them. Mine are Wiss, I'm not sure what brand Joann's has.
