Set of 3 Vintage Pinking Shears Sewing Decorative Cutting Scissors For Sale

Set of 3 vintage stainless steal perforated sewing shears. All of the scissors still work perfectly! Pinking shears are scissors, the blades of which are sawtoothed instead of straight. They leave a zigzag pattern instead of a straight edge.Pinking shears have a utilitarian function for cutting woven cloth. Cloth edges that are unfinished will easily fray, the weave becoming undone and threads pulling out easily. The sawtooth pattern does not prevent the fraying but limits the length of the frayed thread and thus minimizes damage.These scissors can also be used for decorative cuts and a number of patterns (arches, sawtooth of different aspect ratios, or asymmetric teeth) are available. True dressmaker\'s pinking shears, however, should not be used for paper decoration because paper dulls the cutting edge.
