It's used instead of pinking shears. ------ My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.

They came in table-top and machine varieties. There are diffeent blades, a straight, a crinkle (most common) and a mini-crinkle. They run from$50 - $100 on ebay (the pinkers) and straight edge and mini crinkle blades are, when they come up, which is rarely, in the $50 each range. ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!

If you want to see one in action, go the www.youtube.com and in the search bar type in PB010011 to take you to the demonstration video. It is a fun gadget. I have one and use it from time to time to embellish edges......Laurie

There are the "crinkle" finishes, such as yours in the photo, but they also came in the glossy black. Some have steel deck plates, others have the plates in the same finish as the pinker itself. What a lot of pinkers are missing is the L-pin, which is meant to sit in a small hole on the deck. It's used to keep the gears from turning when changing blades. Also often missing is the thumbscrew. More pinker pics They were sold individually and with the Singer Fashion Aid cases. ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!
