Pinking Shears NZ
Shop pinking shears in New Zealand for zigzag fabric edges, seam-allowance trimming and fabric crafts. Compare sizes, handles and cutting actions. A pinked edge can reduce fraying on suitable woven fabrics; it does not replace every seam finish.
What are pinking shears used for?
Pinking shears cut a repeating zigzag edge. Use them for suitable woven seam allowances, fabric swatches and decorative edges. Test an offcut first: loose weaves and frequently washed garments may need stitching, overlocking, binding or another seam finish. Choose dressmaking shears for straight pattern cutting.
Choose the size and handle that suit you
Compare overall length, weight and grip, and check the stated fabric suitability. Spring-assisted designs reopen after each cut; traditional loop handles have a different cutting action. Do not assume a model is left-handed. Keep fabric flat, clear pins from the cutting line and avoid forcing bulky layers.
