This is a short video to explain how to effectively sharpen your dressmaking scissors and pinking shears.
Probably like many of you, I have a few pairs of pinking shears, every time mine dull, I replace with a new pair until I decided to find a fix on my fourth pair.

I have a pair of pinking shears that belonged to my grandmother, then my mother, but the charity shop who sharpen knives, scissors, saws etc locally, told me it's not possible to sharpen them (they're not totally blunt). Now I can renovate them myself, thank you so much! :)

How did I not know these simple was to sharpen my sewing scissors!! I have been sewing for 60 years!

This is great. I was eyeing a second hand pair of pinking shears online, but was afraid it was dull. Now I know I can sharpen it myself. 😃

Thank you so much for this video. I also have pinking shears that I almost disposed of. Going to try this now!

Good tip with the aluminium foil for sharpening scissors. As I've just spent 4 hours sharpening things for people at a repair cafe that's a great tip I'll be passing on - thank you!

@seankillins9069 3 года назад

Is there a way to true scissors? Like what I mean is how do I keep my scissors straight? It's weird but like if I don't want to warp my scissors. Basically I was just wondering what habits I should be looking for, just so I can learn for the future.

@hpinuk 3 года назад

Didnt work for me. Now they are worse than before. What am I doing wrong?

@AbisDen 3 года назад

I’m not sure, I often use foil. I used to keep replacing my oinking shears, but they’re all like new. I honestly don’t know what else to suggest

@hpinuk 3 года назад

@@AbisDen thank you. I must be doing filing incorrectly.

Thanks Abi, I didn’t know I could sharpen my pinking shears, and was ready to replace them!! You’ve saved me the cost!

@AbisDen 5 лет назад

Thank you for your feedback and yay! 😊💪🏼✂️I have 4 pairs for that reason, a few years ago I tried it out when playing with the children and I couldn’t believe my luck 🌷I’m glad to have helped

@wowdancemix Год назад

It would save you a little bit of time to have a local sharpener who understands how to sharpen those correctly with the proper tools and experience it will only take about 2 minutes to get them back to the way they originally were when you bought them

@AbisDen Год назад

I use a tormek, but most people don’t have those lying around. Taking off screws for some scissors can be fiddly, and getting the correct angle can be troublesome, this is a great technique that works well and ample for those people cutting fabric only,

@BariumCobaltNitrog3n 3 года назад

keep them, they will actually sharpen scissors

@BariumCobaltNitrog3n 3 года назад

Cutting aluminum foil or sand paper doesn't sharpen scissors, but it will clean them.

@AbisDen 3 года назад

Don’t cut sandpaper! It’s paper. It’ll dull your scissors. Foil is metal. Metal sharpens metal

@BariumCobaltNitrog3n 3 года назад

@@AbisDen Most sandpaper is neither sand nor paper. I prefer a stone. Whichever metal is harder will change the other metal, sharpening rods and honers are hardened steel and so they change the scissors. Sharpening changes the surface of the metal by grinding or forcing the metal into a new position. Cutting foil is the river smoothing stone, or shaving with a credit card.
