I totally love my Olfa Quick Change. I no longer have problems with wobbly blades. I hated changing blades on the old one.

I just replaced my fiscars I had to loosen the screw to make the blade roll, and the screw kept coming off.

Try the Olfa Ergonomic cutter. It is very stable and the blade retracts; that is why I switched from the original version. I have been using them for years. I also tried the Fiskar before Olfa started making theirs and I also disliked it.

I found some on JoAnn.com on sale. I'm sure they sell them at the store as well. Check with your LQS as well.

After reading all of these posts, I was trying to figure out how long I have had my Fiskars ergonomic cutter. I just realized I have been using it for 24 years! I do not use it as much as most of you, since I am a slow quilter, but wow. I just checked and mine is still sound. ( I wonder what I have spent on blades in all that time?)

I haven't heard of this, but everything is possible. Tell your DH that there is no such thing as quilting too much.

Same thing happened to my newest Olfa rotary cutter, DH put a small washer in with the spring and that stopped the cutter blade from wobbling. That was a couple of years ago, and no problem since. I have 4 other rotary cutter as well, and have had no problems with any of them either.[ATTACH=CONFIG]444430[/ATTACH]

Exactly the same thing happened to my Fiskar's 60mm--so frustrating! So replaced with another brand that I can use with either hand and works well. I now use my Fisker's at the long arm frame for the ocassional cut. Are they repairable? Wondered if it was the washer, etc. But they were my first cutter and think that I probably didn't hold it right and put too much pressure on it.

Silly DH....too much quilting. But thanks for the heads up regarding your rotary cutter!
