Ruler with cutter attached
Was looking at the rulers that had the cutters attached - Fiskars, Haskals, Nancy's etc
has anyone used them and what did you think? I really think this might help me but haven't seen one in action. thanks |
I bought one from Eleanor Burns place - sure can't get it to work right. Gave up, too busy to mess with it now. I was really disappointed!!!.

Do you mean it would help you cut strips? If you haven't tried a June Tailor Shape Cut mat, I would suggest that first. I had a cutter like this for paper and was unimpressed; think I would be even less impressed with fabric.
p.s. I have seen people recommend it for children, though, as it is quite safe -- especially compared to regular rotary cutters. |
I have had my Friskars for a number of years and love it for the safety of it. When I taught a quilting class last winter that was what I put out at the cutting table. No ER visits!!!!

I have an older Fiskars rolling ruler and I love it. Because I have arthritis in my hands it is difficult for me to cut several layers of fabric at once using a rotary cutter or scissors. However, using my rolling ruler, I do not have this problem. At the last quilt show I attended one of the vendors had a demo using the new ruler and it was very impressive.

I have the fiskars and really like it.

I have the fiskars and really like it. it had a scoring blade on it when I bought it. I told fiskers and they sent me the five blade magnetic pac Go fiskars

Thank you everyone for your imput. Will have to check you tube and see if there are any so I could see if there are differences.

While shop hopping for the row by row, quite a few shops used them to cut the fabric.

Try looking at the TruCut rulers and rotary cutters at http://www.graceframe.com. The rotary cutter rides on a ridge on the ruler. It has improved our cutting accuracy 100%. No wobbling of the rotary cutter makes a difference. I also put their brand of stickers on the bottom of my rulers. They really help hold them in place. I have just had to learn to pick up the ruler and place it, instead of sliding it like I did before
