Curious about the cutters from the tool store? What brand are they? Where in the store are they? Hmmm...wanting to try that!

I have the Martellino cutter. I bought it about 5 yrs ago at a show. I loved it until the plastic cover started to come off the handle. It stretchs over time and so had to stop using it.

I have three different brands of cutters, and I use Olfa blades on them all. They all cut great, and the blades last through at least 2 quilts, sometimes more. I had a friend who bought a cutter that we could not get to cut for anything. She took it back to the store, and when they checked it, they said it was defective and gave her a new one. Not all cutters are 100% perfect. If you can't get it to work, take it to the store and ask for help.

Had same problem and I did put back together right. So I bought an Olfa. I just use the fiskars one to cut paper with my old olfa blades.
