Pinking rotary blade?
#21
The Olfa blade fits all of my rotary cutters. I bought a bunch of cheap pinking blades a couple of years ago (from??? possibly harbour freight???) and they also fit all my cutters.
1) They work best on a non-healing mat. Get a cheap mat at a big box store!
2) Get a heavy metal carpenters rule to cut along: it won't hurt the blade and you'll avoid nicking your good rulers.
3) Well worth the trouble: you can pink the edges of a pile of fabrics in nothing flat. I prewash ALL my fabric and the pinked edges don't fray.

And those cutters are what brand please? Olfa is very clear that their specialty blades are NOT to be used with anything but their ergonomic cutter. I'd get Fiskars specialty blades, but they aren't made for use on fabric (paper only) so aren't as sharp.

I have the pinking blade and the wavy blade and like them when i am working with fleece blankets-that is how I finish the edges. No fraying at all with fleece and have washed many times and stays looking good.
