  "term": "Pinking shears",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "Scissors with serrated blades that cut a zigzag edge into fabric, rather than a straight one. This distinctive cut reduces fraying along the raw edges of woven textiles by preventing individual threads from unraveling easily. Pinking shears are commonly used in sewing and tailoring for finishing seams and preventing fabric degradation without the need for stitching.",
