Do any of you use the Olfa cutter to cut circles? If you do is it worth the money?

I fold the material and use a 6" compass like we used to use in school. You can use a template if you want or make your own. Just fold a piece of paper in half. Tie a string to one end of a needle or nail or whatever and the other end to a pencil but measure the length of how large you want the diameter. That's how I do it. I've made circles as big as 4' across.

Yes it sure is worth every penny! I love mine. I also have the big easy circle cutter guide plastic template (the one with the grooves you cut through, and it also is a life saver. I suppose it is only worth it is you will be cutting lots of circles out, but, I love having a perfect circle and these sure work great.

I bought this at Joanns with coupon it was reasonable and works great.

If I remember right, the Olfa cutter wouldn't cut circles as large as I wanted, so it wouldn't be worth it to me. I have the EZ Circle cutter, and I even wanted circles larger than that at times. But the EZ circle cutter works well.

That is all nice to know - good for future reference!

An upside down plate works great as a circle template!

I do super easy. I bought the circle dies for the Go.

Thanks all.

I have the ruler with slots but tend to use a pencil and cut with scissors. my smaller rotary cutter is used mainly to rip out stitches I'm afraid.
