I bought a rotary cutter & it has sharpened my old blades real good . the problem is that if your blade is not dull yes dull it will ruin your blades it has to be dull that can no longer cut. Also when it says 20 times when you go up & down that is once. not twice . you have to do 20 x then turn the sharpener all the way around & do it 20 more times . then 10x then 5 x remember to turn the sharpener all the way around afer each set. when you do that your blade will be sharp. just run the blade back & forth slowly. Saves a lot on your blades. shrabar.

I'm loving this thread. I've read it over a couple of times to make sure I haven't missed anything. I'm making note of anything that looks like it will work for me. 8-) |

Someone was talking about the big square with slits they use to cut strips... I have one and use it all the time. Its great and makes cutting easy and fast. Mine is called the Shape Cut and its made by June Tailor. Its clear plastic with slits every half inch. I have one good tip to add. When cutting more than a couple times put a dot of masking tape at each measure you are going to cut at. No matter how good I try to remember it seems that I always mannage to cut one time at the wrong line. I started doing this after I was cutting for a baby quilt and the very last cut needed I did wrong and I really needed that last cut! Had to sew two pieces togeather so I have one square with a seam ..dang it.. but atleast it was a fabric that the seam isn't really noticeable.
