I would never use them, however, to cut my patches, etc. It would definitely be much too difficult to get that 1/4" seam. |

I use a pinking rotary cutter when I wash flannel. Otherwise... not so much.

I never use them for piecing only sewing clothes or accessories. As far as the pinked edges on the charm squares - there is no difference to me using them as oppossed to straight edge. They are so perfectly cut, you just match the points, use your 1/4" foot along the outside of the point (this is your straight edge), and sew. No big deal.
