I signed up for the craftsy class Cut to it (at least I think that is what it is called). GREAT tips. I am planning to use her method to make the delectable mountains next.

interesting you should mention the 60mm. I have one and have never used it. might have to give it a try.

I do all my power cutting with my GO Big. It is so easy and so accurate.

Same here... the 60mm was the first rotary cutter I purchased back in 2011 and then when I bought the 45mm... I must have buried my 60 somewhere in a drawer. I'll go looking for it today. LOL

I've only ever (15 years?) used my 60mm and 28mm for cutting straight lines. I finally broke down and got a 45mm not long ago, but it's only used for the decorative blades.

Is the 60mm cutter larger or smaller around than the 45mm, I am assuming it is larger, but not sure. What makes it easier or better to cut with?

It's bigger so it makes it easier to cut more layers. It doesn't have to roll as many times during a cut so it actually cuts faster than the smaller sizes. I love mine and use it more than the smaller ones. Try it you'll like it!

Debbie Caffreys method is not new i took a class fron her 25 years ago using this method here in Akaska before she moved south. She has at least two books that are good for beginners with many different methods that mske msny blocks easier.

It's amazing how old things become new again. 60's styles have been around 2x in my life. Fitted dresses are back in. I just don't have the figure this time around.

Debbie Caffreys method is so accurate for triangles, flying geese. It's 2-3 templates, used over and over, they're starting to loose the markings.
