Used to finish edges of cloth with a zigzag cut for decoration or to prevent raveling or fraying.
Pinking scissors are called pinking shears because they create a zigzag pattern along the edge of fabric to prevent fraying. The zigzag pattern resembles the teeth of pinking shears, which is where the name comes from.
Pinking shears create seam edges from fraying.

Sewing
The difference between fabric scissors and pinking shears is not one of strength. Pinking shears are designed to give a zig-zag cut rather than a straight cut (which for some kinds of fabric will help prevent the cloth from unravelling into its constituent threads).
