Over the passed few month I have been designing a electric rottery cutter for cutting fabric. I just got the patent on it and working with a company to have it manufactured. I came up with the idea because like me have arthritis in the hands. Hopefully it will be in stores some time early next year.

YYYIIIIIPPPEEE!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

PLEASE KEEP US UP TO DATE ON IT'S RELEASE!!

Oh, that sounds interesting! Congrats on the patent!

Wonderful. Can't wait to see the finished product! Congratulations.
Quilters are so incredibly inventive!

Wow! This is great for you and us! hehe! Keep us posted!!

WAY COOL :!: :!: as the kid all say. you will be $$$$$$$ send pic's or are we going to have to buy one :lol: Love Ya

Will it cut straight? he, he,he

I can't wait to hear more about this! :D:D:D

Congrats on your Patent. I hope to see your finished product in stores. Not being a great rotory cutter myself, perhaps it can make me a better cutter?
Good Luck
:-D

Sounds like a great idea. Congrats on the patent.

Wow!!! That is so cool that you were able to do something like that. Congratulations!!!!!!

Much Congrats to you! Keep us posted. I would love to buy your product. I have trouble with 2 of my fingers thus far that just don't work as well as they should and sometimes not enough to cut through my fabric completely

Wow, that sounds interesting. I hope the best results for you. I am just trying to figure out what you could electrify on a rotary cutter. I can't wait to see it.

How wonderful. Just what I need. Have lost strength in hands, and have arthriis. Can't wait for it to be available. Congrats on your patent!

Good luck!

Congrats! What an innovative thinker. Can't wait to see it :)

Say, do you need beta testers!!???
Ahem, ahem...

Can't WAIT!

Oh goodie! Sign me up! Sounds like a great idea.

Good for you!!! :)

Sounds interesting, be sure to let us know when it is for sale.

This is exciting. I am hoping the best for you (and us when it is manufactured). Keep us up-to-date. Congrats on your patent. Wow, tell us how long you have been working on this, how intricate it must be to do something like this. Brain power plus to you.

I will definately be looking for your invention when it comes to market. I have RA in my hands and hardly ever make a complete cut through just one layer of fabric. Good luck and much success with it !

Congratulations. Thank you for sharing the good news with us. The best to you. It will have to be a success.

I am so excited. Sometimes the arthritis in my hands prevents me from using my rotary cutter, or when cutting a large amount of fabric my hands ache for days. Keep us posted! This is wonderful news!!!!!

If you want an electric rotary cutter, there are some already on the market and have been for years.
I have a Birdie.
These run at very fast speeds. You would have to be very experienced to cut quilt blocks with an electric cutter.
They are great for stacking layers of fabric, about 6, and cutting around a heavy cardboard or plexiglas templates.
I have much experience with an electric cutter and would not be able to cut quilt blocks accurately.

Wonderful! Hope it is reasonably priced.

Who carries the Birdie?

Please PM me when it comes out. I have lupus and FM, and the hardest part of this for me is the cutting and actually working on the machine. My hands get so painful that I can only do this in very short periods of time. Thank you for thinking of this idea!

What a great idea. Best of luck with it.So far I am doing ok in the arthritis department sometimes my FM acts up and I hurt.
I have to admit though the first thing I thought when I saw electric rotary cutter was "Oh Boy. Now I can cut my fingers faster" LOL
Last time I cut it was my fault for not closing but I have been cutting and gotten distracted(by animals) and sliced my fingers.

Maybe hers is different type. She didn't tell us, but I wouldn't think she could get a patent that is just like something else.

She seemed to say that it WAS for quilting, though. Hopefully it will be able to cut quilt blocks accurately!

I'd love to hear more info about it!

Electric rotary cutter sounds like a winner.

Sounds like a good idea. I hope it has an automatic shut off when you pick it up from the fabric. I've had too many cuts and blood with a rotary cutter, I can't imagine a spinning blade! Good Luck with your business!

Great idea, let us know when it will be available. I bought an electric scissors from Sears about 50 years ago and it still works great when I think to get it out. Works neat on long rows of cutting. I sewed drapes back then and cutting with a regular scissors cramped my hands.
Good luck, we need one of them.

Good for you! :thumbup:

I have electric scissors that were my mother's. They still work also. Did not even think to use them to cut fabric

Congrats to you. But for me, I'll just probably be able to cut wrong even faster!!!!!:-)

Wonderful. Congratulations to you.

Congratulations. Keep us posted on more info.
Quilters have GREAT imaginations. One lady had her husband take a blade and refit it so you can cut the holes to crochet around the edge of fleece. Now they have 2 different sizes for different type of yarns. They patented the idea and are now selling them.
