The reason I ask is that I have a curvy flip flop block from waterfall quilts and I know you are suppose to have a tiny rotary cutter - so I am looking in to getting one. The 18mm one looks soooOOOoooo tiny - the 28 to me looks like a insy winsy tiny tiny baby compared to my 45....

I got the 18mm.

Thanks everyone, good suggestions, some I never thought about!

I got mine at wally world and also got a pack of 2 blades (under $4 for them) while I was at it. :lol:

I belong to a Quilt Guild. This spring John Flynn taught a class. It was his Red Hawk quilt. He had us bring a small (I think the 18mm, but not sure) rotary cutter. He included a heavy acrylic template for cutting the points of the arc (it is similar to a New York Beauty). If we tried to use a large (45mm) to make those tight curves, it wouldn't go. The smaller cutter was perfect for following those small curves. Oh, and by the way, if anyone has a chance to take one of his classes - go for it! He was great.

Congratulations on the treat, and love the suggestions for use! I don't have the really small one (yet)! :lol:
