Default Fiskars rotary cutter & ruler combo 6x24

If you own the Fiskars Rotary Cutter and Ruler Combo 6x24 please tell me how you like it. I make up kits for our church quilters so it looks like something I might find useful for these basic quilt tops. I already own a Stripology ruler and use it.

I have the original version of this Fiskars ruler combo. I used it to cut jelly rolls before the Accuquilt came about. I have it hanging on my quilt room wall now. I don't know how the new ones are but the original one worked great.

I was given this as a 2-hand ruler and so far it is working great. I don't yet have a mat but it does cut on my cardboard mat. Payday I'm purchasing a real mat for my quilt cutting.

I don't yet have a mat

Dollar Tree sells the small self healing green mat. Get the ones with the non rounded corners and they will join up to make one big mat. I used packing tape on the back to make one large mat when I was stuck with no mat but the town had a Dollar Tree. LOL I didn't have a problem cutting over the joins at all. I noticed now there are cutting mats that are adhesive. That is something I haven't decide what good it will be but I'm sure someone will find a good purpose for them.

I am not a prolific quilter, but have had the Fiskars cutter and 6 X 24 ruler since I started. They were not in a package, though.

I have one from many years ago, but only use it as a back up. I prefer the newer Olfa with the color handles. The handle fits my hand well and the blade is easy to change.

The first one of this ruler is decades old. it was discontinued for years and then new versions were made. I have the original version. Back then paying $49.99 was unheard of for buying a quilting tool and no online ordering. The shops that carried this was few because they wouldn't sell fast and took up a lot of shelf space. We only had a couple of sewing catalogs or magazine ads to know about the new products. I remember how hard it was to find them in shops. I had to take the ad or catalog to the LQS and show what I was asking about. Really most of the time the store owner would say just shake her head and say I doubt that will sell here. It took years to get the local LQS to even understand what pre cut EPP papers were! Even now when I ask about a new a new quilting product at a quilt shop and get the deer in the headlight look I walk out. Go home and order it online.
