Pinking shears

[goosysmom]

Any way to tighten them?? Mine aren't working anymore for some reason...still sharp but the teeth are only meeting at the top 3 and I can see through them for the rest if I hold them sideways...

I can't afford to buy them new bc they are so pricey (even the expensive ones) and the craft ones don't cut it...

Anyone had any luck?? Where would I take them????

Thanks.

I'm assuming that there isn't a screw or something you can just tighten down.

Call up a scissor sharpening place. Otherwise, maybe some work with visegrips and/or a hammer?

there is a screw....but i think it's down as far as they will go...ugh...

didn't want to have to break out and thread a serger (my friend bought one years ago and it sat in a box.....i inherited it 2 years ago...lol)..just wanted to pink edges this year....

i'll see if hubby can fix it...LOL

It is possible, though not likely, that they are too tight instead of too loose.
