I have been lusting after hand-crank pinking machines on Ebay for over a year now. I'd place a bid every so often but the prices were OUTRAGEOUS! Sometimes over $150!!
Well, a few weeks ago I managed to snag one for quite a reasonable price! ($36) It arrived in the mail a few days ago and the girls and I have been pinking everything in sight!
It works great on both fabric & paper. I am busy making some flags for the store and it works like a charm. Just look at this beautiful edge!
I tell ya, I'm in love! xoxoxo
I didn't even know such a machine existed! I now have visions of Laura Ingalls Wilder running through my head! LOL. Enjoy!

This is perhaps the coolest thing I have ever seen! I also did not know anything like this existed (I knew about sergers, etc., but this is just so neat!) So glad you got what you wanted! Keep on pinking!!! =)

How cool is that!? Has to be sooo much easier than using pinking shears!
