I need a new rotary cutter. I've been using one I purchased at Walmart and it just doesn't cut very good. I'm constantly having to go back and cut threads. Which one do you like best and why?

May not be the cutter, try changing the blade.
|
I like Fiskars. I have arthritis and it is the easiest to grip.
|
I have Olfa ones (28mm, 45mm, 60mm) I like them fine. Mine are the squeeze handle ones where the blade retracts when your not squeezing them..
I also have/had a fiskers paper cutting one that I didnt like, its too flimsy for me. wobbled too much for me.. and was too hard to squeeze.. Thought id try it since it was on sale.. |
im in search of a better one also...
i have a fiskars 45mm...bought it because they are known for their excellent sharp scissors... cut a few strips/squares...had to sharpen it already and i notice i have to bear down on it even right after i sharpen it and it still leaves a thread or 2 attached |

I've got several Olfa's. Like others said, have you changed the blade recently?
|
Love my Olfa cutters.

New blade after every other quilt, is what I've been told. Granted, I keep using the same blade until I put a nick in it, but that's me. (I don't always follow the rules ;) )

Olfa for cottins and Fiskars for fleece.
