Does anyone have one yet? I started salivating:

I also want!!!
I just saw this yesterday in one of my new quilting mags. If the Gingher rotary cutter is as good as their scissors, it will be well worth the money.

The lady at the quilt shop said it was ergonomically designed and she loved it enough to keep it at home. She mentioned also that she dreaded the purchase of new blades though, which as we all know is par for the course. :wink:

I have two pair of their scissors and they are great, so this should be too.
Didn't see any prices. Nancy :?

Since it's a new product it will probably take time for wide distribution, but I did find this with a quick brouse of the net (I also saw a sight where they wanted about eighty bucks!):

I found the gingher rotary cutter at Jo Ann's and used my coupon. It's a good cutter. I haven't used it enough yet to say whether I like it that much better than my olfa cutter that I love. The gingher is a 45mm and my olfa is 60mm. It's like comparing apples and tangerines!

At that price...I'll be giving lots of hints to family & friends for gift ideas...and keeping my fingers crossed. Then I won't be able to afford the replacement blades...would you have to use gingher? I can't spend that much for a cutter!
