The Attachment itself is made of cast aluminum, so using a standard thumb screw could strip the threads fairly easily without you even realizing it. \u003cem\u003e(We know - we've done it.)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eAnother thing to consider is the Steel \"Plano-Concave\" shaped end of the original screw.  The main side of the presser bar is flat; the back side of the presser bar is curved. The special end of the original thumb screw is designed to fit snugly around the backside of the presser bar. A standard thumb screw is designed for the main flat side.  If purchasing a vintage Singer Pinking Attachment it will either need to have the original spring-loaded thumb screw or a specially-sized replacement screw for proper fit and function.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eSome pinking attachments had a black, crinkle finish while others had a shiny, Japan black finish.  Attachment will vary depending on availability and supply on hand.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Also included is an L-Shaped pin \u003cem\u003e(these were often lost or misplaced)\u003c\/em\u003e to help keep the gears from turning when removing the cutting blade, should you ever need to.  We have replacement pins sold individually as well. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eOriginal pinking blade will create a rounded pinked edge, similar to a scallop or rick-rack edge versus an angular zigzagged edge.  Some sewists have difficulty cutting with traditional pinking shears as they can be heavy and tiring to the hands, but the machine-operated pinker will eliminate that strain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eUseful ideas for your Pinking Attachment:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eBefore washing and drying all fabric cuts after purchase, pink the edges to prevent fraying.
