Ditto! The 45mm is the one to start with, but you may also want a very small one for detail work. |
I have Olfa and Fiskars, - but I bought a Marteli ergonomic at a show early in the year.
Since I developed carpal tunnel in June, the has been the best foresight I have ever had. I may be having trouble prepping food in the kitchen, but still have no trouble using this cutter. |
Gingher---son and daughter-in-law gave me one for Christmas---toally awesome---daughter-in-law is a many award winning quilter---and really great

At a quilt class recently, our instructor said she gets double duty out of her rotary cutter blades by flipping them over. Her husband is a woodworker and said that is what he does with certain saw blades. I have tried it and you do get some extra "life"out of them.

Have both Olfa and Fiskars, 45 mm and 60 mm. I love the Fiskars for the button-push safety and it fits nicely in my hand.
Learned about the bigger cutters last year and that's my favorite now! Find it easier to cut with the bigger ones - don't have to push so hard. |
Olfa ergo here as well. 60mm for cutting lots of layers, 45mm for squaring up and 28mm for teenie tiny stuff. have used the friska but after a while my wrist and hand give up but with the ergo can keep going for much longer and cutting out is no longer such a pain.

JoAnns had a sale on notions. I bought a blade, got one free. Not bad!
|
I love my fiskars(?I think) that you squeeze to use. I have been using an olfa and keep forgetting to close it. If I am cutting curves, I use my small olfa(straight one).
