Thread: Rotary cutters

Best to put those flying things in the truck. Even if someone bumps into you they could and will go flying. Smart thinking on your part.

I put the cutter in the klutz glove and put in a pillowcase vinyl zipper bag along with a packet of extra blades. The entire thing goes in the side pocket of my sewing machine case along with the plastic bin with sewing implements.

I've never found one that everything fit into well that wasn't just too bulky. It seems to suit me better to have several separate small containers, so I can bring just what I want with me and stuff them into various pockets in my suitcase or in my machine's case.

I think I've read of other people using and liking tackle boxes, though, so it's probably just a personal preference kind of thing. If you already have one, give it a try!

Back to School sales had clear and semi transparent colored plastic pencil cases that were the exact size for storing rotary cutters. 59 cents so I bought a few.

I also carry the bernina pen knife gadget set in my handbag, again no knife but is. It safe in there?

Should they both be in a hard strong container with excellent lid ie glasses case.

To use they are safe and items we use daily. I was thinking of men and electrric tools just left laying around danger. Both based on familiarity.

I use pencil cases for some of mine (my 18mm) and for my 45mm. I also have a case from Omnigrid that is for a rotary cutter, that I use to carry a pair of scissors and my rotary cutter. You could also use some kind of tin.

You might try a Crystal Light container. This is what I use to put my rotary cutter in after you enjoy all of the Crystal Light drink of course.

I have a large zippered tote that is big enough for 18 x 24 cutting board and rulers with side velcro pockets for scissors, cutters, etc. and I also carry a pencil box for small notions: needles, seam rippers etc.
