This is an industrial cutter. They use them where I work and we cut many thousands of yards of fabric every year. They do go through about ten to twelve layers at one time. It also takes a lot of training and a very sturdy table. I do not work in a quilt shop.

It looks like it would work. but it is made in China ,thats a nono . joyce j

Besides the made in China issue (buy American-made!!) it looks dangerous to me. I have done enough damage to my hands with rotary cutter mishaps - I'd probably be missing an entire finger with this.....

How many finger tips would that little thing take off! Rotary cutter is good for me! Also love my accuquilt go

For that price it should do the dishes!!

and clean the toilet

It looks so dangerous, and one slip with it might be costly!

Three issues come to mind--how to stabilize the fabric being cut, how hard is it to see where you are cutting? and can you turn corners? This gadget reminds me of a circular saw; great for straight cuts. Period. The factory where I worked once upon a time had cutters that worked like suspended bandsaws which maneuvered handily. Dharma has another cutter a bit like that. I don't think either suited to casual home use.

I think you'd have to make a lot of garments to help pay for the garment cutter.

For most of us quilters, wouldn't it just take the joy out of rotary cutting by hand your own quilt or someone you care for's quilt? I like to savor every moment I work on a quilt. This, to me, seems really commercial and not totally personal. Just my thought! Edie
