I have a Lazy Susan in the basement. My Mom got me going on the lazy susan as opposed to the revolving rotary cutting thing! Same thing I think, does the same thing just a little different. I think my mother thinks she invented the idea of the lazy susan. I'm not going to tell her that there are other people out there that thought the same thing. Edie

The only suggestion I have is to make sure to check to see if the surface is stable when cutting, the experience I have had with some is that they rock when trying to cut. I mostly use my olfa cutting mat, it does not turn, but it's oh so easy and quick when cutting fabric.

I have a 12 x 18 amazing turnables that I like. I think it's made by Elna, but not sure. It's large enough that you can fold your 44" wide fabric in 3rd and have plenty of room to cut it. It works great with a 12 inch ruler also. It comes with a nice mat and it's very sturdy. I saw one on ebay for about $60.
If a person can find an old TV turn table or lazy susan at a G. Sale, it would probably work.

I just love mine I have used it so much that it has large groves in it dh told me to go buy a new one but just going to replace the top.I have had mine for about 4 years.It is nice to sit at the coffee table watch tv and cut my pieces of fabric.

I have the Olfa, 18x18 and I love it. Got it a Paducah last year. Will buy a bigger one this year. Sure beats turning the blocks by hand.

I have the Olfa one. It's nice if I can remember to use it.

any brand can have that problem...a friend and I each purchased the same brand at almost the same time (we were shopping unattended! who knew we could get into such trouble!) and one of ours works fine and one doesn't...so whatever you purchase, check it out at the store for smoothness to avoid the hassle of having to return it.

Also, these need a very flat surface on which to rest in order to move smoothly..the folding plastic table that I occasionally use as a cutting surface is not totally flat, and the rotating function id not efficient on the table..

I have the 12 inch Fiscars and it sits next to my sewing machine and works great when I'm working on smaller pieces, especially when getting the little 'dog ears' cut off.

I have the 12 in Olfa and it is great.
