    I am thinking about buying a pair of pinking shears and as it seems that they are not in-expensive I thought I would ask you all on here if any of you have a pair, which ones, likes, dislikes.
    Thanks

    I have had a pair of gingher pinking shears for over 30 years. Love them. they are pricy, but worth every penny.

    Do you need pinking shears ... what about a pinking shear blade for your rotary cutter?
