All ScissorsZigzag teeth that cut, not chew.

Pinking shears sharpening, embroidery and craft too.

Pinking shears, embroidery scissors and craft scissors sharpened at the same flat rate as dressmaking shears. On pinking shears the zigzag teeth on both blades are sharpened and the blades set so the teeth mesh and cut a clean zigzag again instead of chewing the fabric. Small precision scissors get sharp, aligned tips.

Blunt pinking shears chew the fabric they’re meant to protect.

Pinking shears cut a zigzag so woven fabric doesn’t fray. When the teeth go blunt, or the blades drift out of line, the teeth stop meeting cleanly and the shears fold, snag and chew the edge instead, which is exactly the fraying they are meant to stop.

The teeth on both blades are sharpened, the blades are set so the zigzag meshes along the full length, and the pair is cleaned, tensioned and oiled. Embroidery and craft scissors get their tips sharpened and aligned so they snip right to the point. Turnaround is 7 to 11 business days.
