Okay, remember when we were all taught to use pinking shears in home ec class? Does anybody ever use them anymore? I'm curious. I don't even think they sell them anymore, do they?

I have a pair from my mom (50 years ago), never use them. Also a wood darning egg with handle.

Yes, they still sell them. I use mine to trim the ends of my fabric before I wash it (prevents all those 'strings').

There are rotary cutter blades that pink the edges. I don't use them, but someone must or the wouldn't still be for sale.

Still use my 20 yr. old pinking shears! They still sell them.

I still use mine and often. Like to "pink" around the quilt before attaching the binding. Also have grandmom's, mom's and two of my own.

I have 2 pair my Maws pair Whites and another pair love the whites still use them alot.

I use mine when I piece my backings. I trim the seam with pinking shears so it doesn't ravel. I also use the pinking shears with flannel for the same reason.
I have one of those rotary cutter blades that does the pinking, but I like the cut I get better with the shears.

Yes, they do still sell them...though I think they are used more by garment sewers instead of quilters. I use mine occasionally...have a sewing pair and a crafting pair for paper. I also have a gadget called the Florian Pinker that was my mother-in-law's that does the same thing but with a rolling gear and blade...they still work great and are fun to use.

I have a few old pars from rummage sales. I use them mostly for making clothes though!
