Product description

23 cm pinking shears: a serrated edge that reduces fraying

Pinking shears with an overall length of 23 cm, with serrated stainless steel blades and a black handle. Each cut leaves a row of small triangles at the edge of the fabric, which shortens the weave fibers at the edge and reduces fraying.

The scissors are suitable for finishing inner hems when you have no overlocker, for cutting felt and fleece, and for a decorative edge on paper and thin cardboard in craft projects. The black handle with a large finger ring gives a stable grip in long cutting.

Tips for cutting with pinking shears

  • Align the teeth: start each cut so that the teeth continue the previous pattern

  • Don't close all the way: this keeps the line continuous

  • Cut close to the seam: but not on it

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

  • Cutting the pattern itself with pinking shears: the pattern is cut with tailor's shears, and pinking shears are used for finishing

  • Cutting hard materials: damages the teeth

  • Home sharpening: a serrated blade needs professional sharpening

How to cut correctly with pinking shears

Pinking shears work differently from regular scissors, and most uneven edges come from technique rather than from the scissors.

  • Open all the way and close all the way: cutting with half the blade leaves incomplete teeth

  • Align the teeth at each continuation: before the next cut, place the teeth exactly inside the triangles of the previous cut

  • One or two layers: many layers distort the pattern

  • Cut the hem after sewing: first sew, and then run the pinking shears along the hem at a small distance from the seam

This gives a uniform, clean edge, both in long lines and in gentle curves.

What are the blades made of?

Stainless steel.

Can I cut felt with them?

Do they replace a serger?

On fabrics that fray slightly, they are enough for inside finishing. On fabrics that fray a lot, a serger is better.
