I use an 18 or 28 when cutting curves. Otherwise I use a 45 or 60.

45 Olfa ergonomic the most. Then the 60, again ergonomic, if I'm cutting multiple layers. I've used the smaller ones for cutting curves and doing twisters.

I use the 45 most often. Yes, the pinking blade is worth every penny to me. I use it on fabric edges before washing. They still ravel some but not like before pinking. The blade is not as "pinky" as the old scissors but does a good job anyway.
What a good idea for pre washing fabric! I will definitely do this. |

What brand and what size rotary cutter do you use most?
Has any of you ever used a rotary cutter with a pinking edge? Does that work well to keep the raw edge of the fabric from unraveling? |
Olfa 28mm is my fave.
|
45 mm is the best for me...
|
60 m Olfa with quick change blade ALL the time. Wouldn't go back to 45 for general use. Like riding a bike - want to pedal with 12" wheels or 20"? The pinking blade WILL ruin your mat - ask me how I know!

Since I got my Accuquuilt Go, I rarely use rotary cutters. When I do use one, the 45 is my choice. The zig zig damages mats, so turn the mat over and use the back.

I use the 45mm for cutting 2 layers and the 60mm for more than 2 layers.

I use the 60 the most. Mine is a Dritz, but apparently JoAnns and WalMart don't carry them any more. I just bought a Fiskars and it is ok but I am used to the Dritz. I don't have to worry about closing the blade and it fits my hand just perfect.
