One was donated for a prize for my group's quilt show.
Anyone here have one? It has a rotary cutter attached to a circular ruler. Walmart here has them so I may want one for myself if I don't win.

When I was cutting lots of circles out of denim and out of cotton (not at the same time) I used the one with the pin that someone else mentioned (is it from Fiskars?). It would go through 2-3 lays of denim, depending how thick the denim was, and I could get about 6 layers of cotton cut. I made one of those fake cathedral ceiling quilts (using two circles, one cotton and one denim and boy was it heavy).
Having said that, I could never have gotten a ring circle out of the one I used, like it shows in the ad. That would be interesting. But my question is, do I really need to get another notion that will probably just sit in a drawer and be used a few times (or never, sometimes in my case) or would I rather buy fabric?

I bought one today at Walmart. It rang up $19.97. Then I went to the quilt shop sale and bought ten yards of fabric.
I'm making the Lotus Blossom Pincushion and it takes a lot of fabric circles. I have been using my Go die for the pincushions but wanted to make larger ones then the circle die I have. The large circles make great Lotus pillows. The Lotus cushions of all sizes have been a good seller at my sew group's sale table.
