Famore Cutlery's Pinking Shears have undergone a complete transformation from mere design into a redevelopment from the ground up, bringing YOU the New & Improved Famore Pinking Shears.

How Pinking Shears are used?

• The Pinking Shear (also referred to as scalloping shears). Pinking shears cut the fabric in a saw tooth or zigzag pattern.
• Woven fabrics unravel when cut on the particle, which results in seams ripping out and loss of fabric.
• Cutting the fabric exactly on the bias helps in reducing fraying. This is perfect for many applications, including seam finishes.
• The Pinking Shear is mainly used to reduce fraying and prevent damage to the fabric's unfinished raw edge, it is also used to finish seam edges.
• On non-fraying fabrics, using pinking shears helps to reduce a dull edge from showing through when pressing a seam and adds a finished look to the fabric.

Tips while using Pinking Shears: 

• Use the blades of pinking shears only for cutting fabric, in order to prevent dulling the blades.
• Keep the blades clean and oil them periodically. (clean excess oil off before cutting fabric)
• Avoid cutting too many layers at an instance. It is best cutting fewer layers at a time.
• Using ANY Specialized Fabric scissors for any other tasks other than fabric will dull them, resulting in rough cutting, shredding of fabric and hand fatigue.
