Yes I have them and I use them, mostly for curved pieces.

I have several pairs. Some cut sharp points and some cut round scallops. I use them for art quilts, both for the quilt edges and for raw edge appliqué. (also have a collection of darning eggs ;) )

I gave up the pinking shears when I bought my serger. Mom still has hers, but she hasn't used them in years. My serger is set up and collecting dust from the infrequency that it is used though. I reserve that for garments.

I occassionly use my pinking shears and just bought a pinking attachment for my Featherweights. I haven't used it yet, but thought it was a novelty and the price was right on Ebay.

I use my pinking shears to cut out circles so I don't have to snip all around to turn under.

I use my pinking shears all the time. I have 2 pair, one I bought myself years ago and a pair my mom gave me that I used when learning to sew oh-so-many-years-ago. I don't pink everything but usually do with cottons or other fabrics that will easily fray. I've not used them on any quilts but if I were to do another Memory Quilt I certainly would! Once the squares got out of my hands, they were handled buy a lot of folks and several came back very frayed...not unusable but it got trickey there on one or two squares. Of course, I'd do a lot of things different if I was to do another one!

I still use pinking shears occasionally for sewing clothing. I rarely use them in quilting. I do have 3 pair of the black handled pinks in different sizes that I hang on the wall.

lol They do sell them still but if you don't sew on fabric like satin or a fabric that tends to fray I don't think you would have a use for them unless you cut fabric to embellish a quilt with that edge. I make satin sashes and yes I use them .
