This Design and Technology scheme of work video explains the technique of pinking fabric, which involves cutting a zigzag or scalloped edge. This method not only serves a decorative purpose but also helps prevent fraying. The video emphasizes the importance of using pinking shears with caution, ensuring that the blades cut through both sides of the fabric for optimal effectiveness.

The video is part of the Year 3 Textiles: Egyptian collars unit.
