Simplicity cutter
 

I hope you can get yours to work. I have one and hate it. I s hould have returned it and got my money back. I couldn't get it to cut straight.......IT was just a mess. I thought it would be wonderful especially cutting 21/2" strips. What a joke. It weaved and wobbled so badly I had to use the strips I made in my mile a minute quite..certainly couldn't use it for anything else. Maybe you can get yours to work correctly. hugs joycet

I bought one, and took it back within an hour. It wouldn't cut the fabric at all. I asked them to demo it for me and it wouldn't even work for the lady that was trying to show me. Not worth the money.

I would hesitate before buying anything that brand....but that's just me. :)

I had the same problems until I started ironing freezer paper to the back of my fabric. It works fine with this method. The stiffness the freezer paper provides makes all the difference.

have fun with your new machine, let us know if you like it

What a great idea! I would have never thought of it but it sure makes sense. I have severe arthritis in my hands and cutting with a rotary cutter is painful. I do it all the time, but I even have pain while I am typing. Thanks again for the innovative clue.

Too bad you didn't ask BEFORE buying it. It is a waste of money for sure. No matter how careful and slow that you go the strips are never straight. Ok for some things as mentioned before but for jelly rolls or any strip that must be straight it is just hopeless. I had one for a couple of months and practiced and practiced and it just would never cut the strips perfectly straight. Surprised they haven't taken it off the market. SewinSue

I've looked at this but didn't like the fact that you could only go up to 2-3/4" strip. I have the Go! cutter and have dies for 1" up to 3" now.

That's strange and I only did 4 practice strips and it was cutting so good I know I can make it work for me. And, with the freezer paper clue, I am really excited about this machine. I will be able to make all the strips I need. I am glad I bought it. I don't like to give up on anything if I think I can make it work. IMHO. However, you do have to adjust the tension tighter than you would normally think. The instructions tell you it cuts by pressure not sharpness which would eliminate the necessity for new blades. And, with Wal Mart's return policy, there was not a problem with trying it out and then returning it if it didn't work. But I think I will keep it.

I have a friend that has this brand and doesn't like it at all. I have accuquilt and does another friend and we both love ours. If you watch Hancock and JoAnns has them on sale. Also the web site has them on sale. I ordered mine on the web and received a letter to get a per cent off my next order and also buy one get one free. So try checking on their web site
