I bought new pinking shears and have only used them for a couple of months but now I need to use 2 hands to make them open and close. This is my second pair and the same thing has happened. There is no problem with the sharpness.
I just cut once and need 2 hands to pull them apart so I can make the second cut and again for the next cut. Not efficient or straight. That sounds like a bit of trouble.

If your shears are sharpened but still fray your fabric, try cutting a few rows of wax paper. Wax residue will transfer to the shears and make your scissors less prone to sticking. Oil your pinking shears. On occasions where cutting wax paper does not keep your shears lubricated enough, clean your scissors with oil.
Open your scissors and place a few drops on the pivot between the blades. Open and close your scissors several times, then wipe off residual oil with a dry cloth. Keep an eye out for rust.
Rusty pinking shears can make your fabric fray, even after cutting. If you spot any rust, rub it off vigorously using steel wool and dish soap. Dip your scissors in vinegar and scrub it clean, if your shears suffer from heavy rusting.
Do not store your pinking shears in wet or moist places. Use your shears to cut a piece of aluminum foil a few times. The number of times is up to you, 3 or 4 should suffice. It is equivalent to striking a knife blade against a sharpening steel. Yes No. Not Helpful 21 Helpful 2.
