I had one, it did work great, but it moved around too easily, I gave it to a friend and I just use my little snips, they're easier since I know where they are at all times. LOL

I love my Gizmo, actually have two, one in the sewing studio and one in the spare bedroom by the sewing machine (my sewing annex). I do a lot of chain piecing, so I find it a time saver from having to pick up the scissors, also my right wrist doesn't bend, making certain actions difficult. The gizmo take care of that.

My machine came w/a thread cutter in front of the machine so I just use it.
|
I simply had to have one, but quite frankly I seldom use it.

Sunflower Quilts has a great one and at a very reasonable price!
If you are going to the Houston Quilt Festival, they usually have a booth. |
I place a small seam ripper in the hole of a spool of thread with the cutting part facing up and gently cut each piece apart with the seam ripper standing there. Works great and no additional "gadget" to buy.

I have seen the ones made with a seam ripper sticking up and they are dangerous. A guild member went the cheap way and got impaled for it. LOL If you have an unused thread cutter pendant, that is safer to stick in a piece of wood or spool. I have seen two sizes, short and tall. I like the tall one the best. They aren't that expensive. |
I agree humbird

I have 2 of the Cutting Gizmos. One stays in my travel sewing bag and the other is right next to my machine. They save so much time. I even use mine just to remove long threads from pieces I have sewn together.
