These classic Pinking Shears are a sewing essential, especially if you are into dressmaking. The saw-toothed blades leave a zig zag edge when you cut fabrics or other materials. This cutting shape is not only cute, it also prevents your fabric’s edges from fraying. The threads of woven fabrics will not unravel as easily when cut with pinking shears. The Madam Sew Pinking Shears are ultra sharp, and have a comfortable ergonomic grip for better comfort and control. The high quality stainless steel blades are durable and can cut accurately through many different kinds of fabric – from heavy tweed to thin delicate silks. You can also use them for decorative cuts of other materials like paper and cardboard. However, if you do intend to use them for fabrics, do not also use them on paper products. Doing so will dull your cutting edges. If you need to cut fabric and paper, you’ll have to buy two! :-) Specifications Triangle teeth Right-handed Material: stainless steel blade + ergonomic soft plastic handle Size: Length: 9 ¼ inches (23.5 cm) Blade: 3 ¾ inches (9.5 cm) Instructions & More Put your pinking shears in your right hand.
