pinking shears sharpening? (US)

Dec 16, 2005 3 Replies

I have tried to get my Wiss pinking shears sharpened locally. No good. No one does it anymore around here anymore (Sacramento CA). Boo Hoo



Does anyone have a contact for some place in the US where I can send my pinking shears for sharpening?

Liz, You might call the Stretch & Sew store in Stockton. I gave him my scalloped scissors to sharpen & he did a great job with them. Their phone number is

209-957-1237 & Maxine's email address is snipped-for-privacy@aol.com. They pack up tons of fabric on the weekends & have "trunk shows" quite frequently. They may even come to Sacramento area.

I have been sharpening for over 50 years and do pinkers all the time. There are not a lot of folks that can sharpen pinkers. I get them from all over the country. My Name is Tommy marshall ( snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com) web page jemsharpeningservice.com. I charge $10.00 plys shipping which is $7.00 Have a great day
