Dear Robb,

For me, pinking shears don't work. I've tried both right and left-
handed models (I'm left-handed, but use other right-handed tools with
no problem) and neither works. Maybe I'm not holding them correctly.
At any rate, I've found many other ways to finish seams, and my
pinking shears languish in my toolbox--unused to fifty or so years.

It's been decades since I've pinked a seam edge, but I do use mine for
edges of interfacing and such that I want to make sure won't "read" from the
outside.
