I use them for cloth only. My grandmother was also a seamstress. She stressed the importance of particular uses for certain scissors. ☺

Jo, yes you can.. but unlike normal scissors its not as easy to resharpen the blade edges of pinking shears because of the zig zags! that's the reason why you can't(shouldnt) cut paper with pinking shears

Player #4586465, Hello New Players (?).... Images are not always relevant to question. That's just the way it is. Be grateful it is not an empty grey box. Have a great life all, be kind.

Player Elf Counsel, Do you really need pictures with every question? Maybe a less taxing game might suit you better. "Show and Tell" anyone??
