I Love "The Cutting Gizmo"!! If you Chain Piece, This Is For You!!
#21
I love gadgets and have bought some that don't stand up to their promise but I know I can always depend on my quilter friends to steer me in the right direction. I am on my way to "Ebay" to order one. Thanks so much for the tip.

I have seen these advertised and often wondered if they worked. Thanks for the information, as I think it would come in handy for my strip and chain piecing - I have a thread cutter on my sewing machine, but it doesn't always cut right and I think this would be a useful tool to have.

I use my machine cutter too. And here I thought I was so clever making up that idea. We both must be very clever.

My son made me one that works great using my seam ripper. Just pop the cap on when not using it to keep from poking yourself. And if I need to rip, just grab the ripper and out it comes.

All the machines I have sewn on for garment & now learning to quilt the thread cutter on the machines seems a bit dull to me I want to be able to just apply a very slight bit of pressure & have the machine threat cutter do the job but so far none are an easy push you have to pull hard in a downward stroke for them to work. I just grab by scissors or my rotary cutter & just push down. I've been thinking about one of these gizmo's for awhile.
