Has anyone tried the Grace Rotory Cutter and Ruler? Have you tried the rotory blade sharpener? It seems like a good idea. Information appreciated

Haven't but heard from friends not to waste your money on the shapener...
|
I heard the same thing about the sharpener. Don't bother
|
Tried the ruler and cutter at the Houston show and found I didn't like them.
I much prefer my Alto's QuiltCut2 for cutting. ali |
I just bought a quilt cut 2, can't wait for it to arrive.

I have heard of the quiltcut2. Did some research and will look at it at my local show. How much cutting do you do? I don't know if the cost justifies the use for me.
Do you sharpen blades? Haven't had much luck with sharpeners. |

I obtained the electric rotary blade sharpender as well as the manual balde sharpener. Do not waste your money on the electric sharpener as it dulls your blades worse then what they were before you started. I was very disappointed with both sharpenders, especially the electric sharpender.

I have the Grace Tru cut blade sharpener and do use and like it. It is not a round sharpener but a long tool that you slide the blade in- back and forth. It will not sharpen a dull blade but used before you start cutting for the day, it will put a sharp edge on your blade. It is not electric.

Hi everyone...I've noticed there's a new, improved electric rotary cutter...the True Cut 2 rotary cutter by Grace company. After spending way too much time and effort to cut with a dull blade, I decided to take the plunge and order this new version. Found a good deal on Amazon, so we'll see how it works. If it at least gives me a little bit more use of a blade, it's worth it to me. So.....if anyone else out there has the True Cut 2.....let me know how you like it. They sound like they've improved a lot of things....so hopefully this is a notion that will be worth it. Found it for as low as $40+ and free shipping on Amazon. I would not pay the $60+ that other stores are offering. I still try to shop local, but for $20......that's too big a savings k(plus tax) to walk away from! Have a good weekend everyone!

I looked up the Alto quiltcut2. I was wondering if before I spend that much money on this system does it truly
help you cut straighter, and just what kind of "blocks" can you cut. I am thinking about buying a system like this to help me with my cutting. Could some of you that have cutting systems tell me how they help you. I have some rulers for cutting and have just started adding to my quilting equipment |
