If you mean pinking shears, I have a pair but rarely use them. Basically all my cutting is done with my rotary cutter. The pinking shears I got years ago to use in a craft project that wanted the zig-zag edge on the fabric squares. I wonder if any of our board members use them. Oh, I remember some cut the fabric edges with them, saying that when they wash their fabrics later, the fabric doesn't fray or fray as much. Cost for a good pair ranges around $40 I believe at a Jo-Ann's store.

I have pinking shears from way back, when we "had" to have them.
I don't know when they were last used.
When I really think I need them, I take out my rotary cutter that has the pinking shear blade!
Much easier for the operator to use!

I have a pair of pinking shears , rarely use them. They do cost a fortune to get sharpened , any many professional sharpeners will not touch a pair of pinking shears.
You can do an internet search for Ginger pinking shears.

I'm with QuiltE, get the blade for one of your extra rotary cutter handles.... way easier to use...and i have both pinking and serpentine, tho i don't find a lot of difference in the results of these two...
