How to choose pinking shears
- Tooth size and blade length — A larger tooth cuts a deeper zigzag and travels faster down a long seam allowance; a smaller tooth is neater on lightweight cotton and around curves. A mid-size pair suits a beginner better than the biggest one on the shelf.
- How heavy they are — Pinking shears carry more steel than ordinary scissors, and pinking every allowance in a garment is hard on your hand. Weight and handle shape are what decide whether you finish the job or leave half of it raw.
- Whether they are spring-loaded — Some pairs open themselves between cuts. If your hands tire or ache, that is worth more than any other feature in this category; if they do not, it is a preference rather than a reason to spend more.

Our read
Written from the manufacturer's listing, the published specs and public owner feedback. We research and analyse — we don't lab-test, and we don't claim to have stitched with this ourselves. Reviewed by the SewingPath team · Hilly Shore Labs · updated October 8, 2026.
Priced in the lower half of this category; the handles are the ergonomic style, which matters more than it sounds once you are cutting out a whole garment; the listing states a stainless-steel blade.
We haven't handled this one — everything above comes from the manufacturer's listing, so check the spec against your own machine and fabrics before buying.
