Thread: June Tailor Shape Cut

I use my Shape Cut with a 45mm Olfa cutter also and have no problems. I do start the blade in the slot. It's important to pay attention to the angle at which you hold the cutter. My bet is that there are some brands of cutter that do not do well with the Shape Cut; Olfa cutters (and I've used several different designs of Olfa) have consistently worked for me.

don't like it, but a smaller blade helps

I use my 45 mm Olfa cutter - it is at least 30 years old - before they were changed to be more ergonomic. It doesn't have all the safe guards on it either. It has a bit - but my second one has more protection.

I use Fiskars and Olfa and don't have problems cutting with them with my June Tailors...

Same with me, but please be careful. I was cutting strips for a quilt and cut almost all the way through my finger, (new blade). I wasn't paying attention to where my finger was when I was zipping through all that cutting. But I still love my June Taylor, just a whole lot more careful.

(I've also used an Olfa cutter, but I'm so used to my very old Fiskars!) What does "Lang may yer lum reek." mean? I'd love to visit Scotland one day.

When I googled it "lum" is a chimney and the "reek" is either smell or smoke, but it might be meant a totally different way. lol I always wondered too.
