I bought a Gingher rotary cutter through e-bay for under $25.00. Sure glad I didn't pay any more than that for it.
(I am fond of my Gingher scissors!) I like my Olfas MUCH better. Plus it's easier to find Olfa or Fiskar blades. (Or Harbor Freight) |
Thanks for the quick reply. I think I will stick with my Olfa.

Is the Gingher rotary cutter better than the Olfa or Martelli? I think Gingher scissors are the best I have ever used. I have been looking at the rotary cutter but, so far, the price has convinced me that I can live without it. lol. I would be interested to hear the opinions of those who have used it. Is it worth the money?

Wonder just how it works..been interesting to see if anyone has used it. Might be great to cut double layers of wool for braiding.

I think I am happy cutting fabric with rotary since it is exercise! lol. I'm thinking if you have a store and want to expedite the cutting it might be helpful.

a fabric store might be worth it but at home I question it.

I was in a quilt shop in Tennessee a couple of months ago and they used one similiar to this to cut yardage. The owner said she got it at a trade show a few years back and it cost about $300. She said that they had figured out the cost of the mats and rotary blades they were going thru doing it the old way with a rotary cutter and that they have actually saved money by buying it. It was snazzy to see it in operation!

Hefty weight and price. Looks cumbersome too. Guess that won't be on my Christmas wish list. :-)
