    Has anyone bought one of these or even seen them?

    I was in my local Wal Mart Fabric department (and we don't have a problem with it being staffed) when I saw this machine. I am going to try it because my DH "forced" me to buy it. It is called a Rotary Cutting Machine by Simplicity. It has a pinking blade and a regular straight blade. It says it cuts by pressure not sharpness. It is supposed to cut cotton, fleece, felt, paper, duck cloth. It is supposed to cut any fabric. If you have ever used one, let me know what you think. You can dial the width from 3/8" to 2 3/4". If it works, it would be nice for doing jelly rolls.

    I just noticed that I took the picture of the "French" side of the box. OH WELL, our ladies in France will enjoy that.

    This machine is not much good. You can cut the stripe straight enough for quilts. It can be used for making rugs. However the blade did not last long. I would not buy it.

    Actually those of us in the U.S. who are French also enjoyed reading it as well I sure in Canada, Quebec area. :-)

    I know of a couple ladies around here who have one and seem to like it.

    I bought that exact model and I don't like it at all. It rips some of the cuts and is just horrible. Barely cuts at all!
