not more than 2 layers of fabric- one layer if it is a thick fabric-
i love my pinking shears- they cut great- but you need to get the hang of it-
they are good for cutting the edges of fabrics that are (stringy-fraying) they will keep that from happening.

The best pinking shears I've ever used are the $10 (approx) ones at Hobby Lobby. Others are too stiff or too large and heavy for my small hands.
I make latch hook rugs using fabric. I hand cut every bit of fabric (tons and tons). The Hobby Lobby pinking shears last and cut beautifully.
