    That is what I have done. Don't think I could even find my pinking shears anymore. I didn't use them much anyway.

    I just bought a blade the other day ... I have pinking shears, but since the rotary cutter, I seldom use scissors, so thought, why not for the rotary pinking too?

    Also have a wave blade ... variety not all ^^^^ have a ~~~~~ edge!

    I love my pinking blade. Think about it when it gets dull....which it will....you can just replace it. Getting you pinking scissors shapened is very expensive. I love my blade it is great for applique work and not near as heavy as scissors.

    ....... and can buy a lot of new blades for the cost of a decent pair of pinkers!
