Blunt Pinking Shears
Dear Aunt Daisy, Here is a suggestion for the woman confronted with the problem of blunt pinking shears. My directions, written on the box, say "Important: Dampen, blades with oil-soaked rag often for smoother action and longer life keenness!" It also says the shears can only be resharpened by the manufacturers. I just do the same as can be done for scissOrs-keep a piece of emery paper handy and cut through it several times with the shears. I have had mine six years and they’re still as good as the day I bought them. "Mrs, J.M."
