Smooth cutter

I love the ball bearing action in this cutter. At first I thought it didn't make much difference, but then I pucked up my older cutter and compaired, well, the differance is quite noticable. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the shape. I know this shape is universal for left and right hand users, bit I have arthritis in my thumbs and moving the guard up and down for each cut gets to be painful and I will not leave a blade exposed. There is an 'ergonomic' style that is much easier to use...

Love this rotary cutter

I absolutely love this rotary cutter. Makes a very clean cut every time! I have severe arthritis in my hands and have had my thumb fused. The cutter makes it easier to cut anything. I love it so much I am ordering a second one. I wish it was also available in the 60mm, when I cut a lot of yardage at a time.

The best Rotary Cutter

What can I say? Did I really need another Rotary Cutter - no! I have 3 already BUT the urge was there and all the other quilters said it was the best because of the "ball bearings". Well, I used it once and I was hooked! I haven't used my other ones since. It glides with ease and smooth and you don't have to press hard to cut your fabric. I love it.

OK for trimming but not for Stripology Rulers

Because the blade guard moves back, rather than up, it is hard to use in a Stripology ruler. In order to use in a Stripology ruler, I have to move my wrist into an unnatural position. This is not something I would have thought about before purchasing the cutter, as all of my other cutters, the blade guard moves up. The cutter works fine for trimming, but I use my Stripology rulers too much for this cutter to be my main cutter. I'll put it in my retreat box where I tend to do only trimming and...

Awesome Rotary Cutter

I’ve been using rotary cutters for as long as I can remember (and that’s a very long time). This is by far the best one I have ever owned. I can cut easily through 8 layers of quilting cotton fabric with excellent accuracy. No jagged edges. No more having to recut. No drag. And a lot less fatigue in my hand and arm. Please make a 60 degree version for heavier fabrics. I will certainly buy one.

best ever

I LOVE the new rotary cutter. Have cut out 3 quilts since it arrived. Very easy to use (once you get used to holding it a little differently than the one I had ben using). Cuts fabric like butter and your hand/wrist does not get tired. I took it to my guild's sit 'n sew and let others try it. Everyone ordered one while we were there-literally everyone in the room!
