Using pinking shears can be a challenge, I got Fiskars and also the expensive ones Aircraft Spruce sells.  If you need to cut much get a Fiskars rotary cutter and mat.  The cutter resembles a rotary pizza cutter available in straight and jagged edge.  Man you can cut Dacron fabric like there is nothing to it.  You can do curves, circles, etc.  Great for cutting circle pieces for covering the plastic inspection holes reinforcements.  A great Christmas gift for your wife if she sews much. 

 If you need a lot of tape for seams, it's probably just plain easier to buy it, get the bias type tape if your going around curves like corners of control surfaces like rudder or elevator.

I was just posting that to the guy in Hawaii because he doesn't have all the items in his area available and he will have to compromise with what he has on hand to work with
