Has anyone used this electric rotary cutter for fabric? I saw one at Wal-Mart yesterday for $50.00 and wondered if it was worth getting. It cuts strips up to 2 3/4 inches.

Is there a picture of it?

I don't hav e a picture but if you go to the Simplicity web site they have a pic and a description there, also on Amazon.com

I have seen it used, don't have one. I had a friend who bought one for way more than $50 and she took it back because it was too much trouble.

good to know,sometimes new toys are not well built

Personally, I think the June Tailor Shape Cut Rulers would be a better value. I have heard people say the electric cutter is too hard to use and hard to get a good straight strip. I don't know anything about them though. I love my June Tailor mats.

I really regret buying mine, wasted $90 as far as I am concerned. I can cut better and faster with a rotary cutter and 6x24 ruler

There have been many posts regarding this cutting machine

I asked this question a week or so ago and it never made it into topics, but I got alot of responses and they were all negative. Everyone said you couldn't keep the fabric straight as it cut. My last response was that they had saved me 2 trips to walmart...one to buy it and one to return it. glenda

DITTO.....

Thank you for your comments and for directing me to the search function to read others comments. Will not be getting one and will use the $$ for other things, such as fabric.

:thumbup: I actually got mine as a gift when they first came out and were really expensive. I used it a couple of times and then it sat in it's box, collecting dust. I just sold it about a month ago to someone who wanted to try it.

I agree- don't get it. Total waste of $.

I bought one off eBay. Even though I got it for much less than the Walmart price, it's been a complet waste of $$ Save yourself the headache.
