Pinking Shears
By Trimits
23 cm
These pinking shears are excellent quality and suitable for cutting fabric for dressmaking or other textile crafts. They have a generously-sized handle that is comfortable to grip. They have an adjustable screw joint and the blades are made from high-quality stainless steel.
These pinking shears are ideal for medium-weight woven fabrics such as homespun, calico, patchwork fabric, other cottons, wools, felts, etc. They are not recommended for heavy-weight fabrics, tricots, or for very thin or silky fabrics.
For best results, lay the fabric flat on a table when cutting. Cutting performance is reduced if the fabric is held in the hand. Place the fabric into the pinker up to the 2nd-to-last notch from the handle. Do not jam the fabric all the way into the wide open pinker.
Maintenance: Place a small drop of oil or Sewer's Aid onto the ball joint regularly to keep the pinking action smooth and long lasting.
Warning: These pinking shears are sharp and can be dangerous if misused. Always use with care and supervise children using them. Please store them out of the reach of children when not being used.
