Welcome from Fort Myers, FL AND I used to be your neighbor (well, almost). I lived in North Grafton and then in Grafton until moving south 10 years ago. I have a very good friend on North Main St.

Hi Helen, You can try the old sandpaper trick. Using 220 to 80 grit sandpaper cut through the paper several times. If this doesn't work, it's time to send them to a professional sharpener. I sharpen them on a professional machine called a Twice As Sharp Sharpener for my customers.
As I previously mentioned to another member, you might consider purchasing a rotary cutter with a pinking or a wave blade such as the KAI 45MM Rotary Cutter. KAI's blades are made of very sharp high tungsten steel. I sure that the other major rotary manufacturers also offer these same blades too, and you can purchase them at a number of retailers . My sales of pinking shears are down considerably due to the popularity rotary cutters.

We moved to North Grafton six years ago. It really is a nice town.
