Pinking Shears

Pinking shears are scissors with jagged, saw-toothed blades that cut fabric or paper in a zigzag pattern, creating a decorative edge that also helps to prevent fraying by shortening threads, much like a sewing machine's zigzag stitch. They're essential tools in sewing, quilting, and crafts for finishing raw edges of woven fabrics, trimming seam allowances, and adding a clean, professional or decorative touch to projects.
