Pinking Shears....

[Apple Tree Crafts]

.....does anyone know how I can sharpen mine?

They've got a blunt patch halfway along the blade, and they weren't cheap to buy, to I don't want to have to replace them.

Thanks!

...but I got it the wrong way about. I was told to cut through glass paper as foil just made thing worse.

I was wrong obviously...going out to buy foil tomorrow when I get home, especially as my pinkers are Fiskars too, like the lady's who wrote the tip.

Thanks for that!:) I'll let you know if it works!

I use it to sharpen my punches and it works on them - never would have hough about using it on pinking shears! Also if they get stuck try greaseproof paper - thats works with punches too to get them going again!

They will turn up as soon as you buy another pair! Always happens.....

.....it worked.

Took me four days to remember to buy foil, but once I finally remembered I tried it....brilliant!

Dare I try it on my spring-loaded dressmaking shears? Yes I dare...and it worked on them too....all three pairs!

I think I've just saved myself about £90 worth of scissors....

I AM IMPRESSED!!!!
