Rotary Cutting Machine
#1
I just bought a Simplicity Rotary Cutting Machine for $15.00 at Walmart. They were on clearance. Does anyone have one? Is it even worth the $15.00. I know I've seen them for much more at Joann's. I can't resist a bargain.

It does not have the best of reviews on Amazon. I did find some wonderful ones that were obviously paid reviews (I hate those!!)
I'm a gadget girl and after reading what it says on Amazon, I'd probably not even take it out of the box... but that's just me. If I could find one that would cut fabric strips wider than it does - and accurately and lets me use regular blades, I would jump for joy! I could get so much more done in less time I'm sure :)

Have it, hate it and won't even use it. Had trouble with the material staying straight (even bought the table for it). Now it sits in the corner, and I use the Accuquilt Go! The dies are expensive, but it is so worth the money spent. Can cut a queen size quilt top out in less than 2 hours (have heard some say they can do it in alot less time). Try to resell it on Ebay is my suggestion, (I don't know how to list items for sale is why I haven't done so with mine.)

You got a great deal! Try it out for yourself. You may get it to work for you. If not, I bet you can resell it on ebay and make a little bit of profit.
On the other hand, I have the bias tape maker and use it all the time to make binding!

I was not as lucky as you with the price. I saw it on sale 2 months ago at a Walmart 400 miles away from home. Bought it for $40.00. Then did some research on it. Last week I took it back to our Wally world and they would not take it as they don't sell it. And of course I had lost my ticket. So I took it to the Pawn Shop! I got 17.00 dollars for it. Which was better then nothing. I just didn't like the look of the blades. I guess my head was somewhere else. But the guy in PS looked it up on internet said WM was selling it for 79 dollars. But I never plugged it in....Makes me sad, as I could have gotten so much fabric with that 40 dollars...Oh well. You would think at my age I would stop and think....
