Cutting fabric strips just became so much easier. Quilters and sewists are in for a treat with the Rotary Cutter and Embosser from Simplicity. This automated machine allows quilters and sewists to cut perfectly even fabric strips every time!

True to the company's name, Simplicity's machine is simple to use. The design is, in many ways, foolproof, perfect for beginners and advanced quilters alike! Simply tuck your fabric under the clear cutting guide bar and move the fabric along the bar for perfect strips every time. The machine can cut fabric or paper widths from 1/4" to 6". Anyone who is familiar with a sewing machine will be able to use the Rotary Cutter and Embosser with ease because this machine is pedal operated. A knob allows you to control the speed of the machine, and a light illuminates the cutting/embossing area automatically when the machine is in use.

One of the most commendable features of this machine is safety. The machine requires a special included tool in order to raise the cutting board for cutting. The machine cuts and embosses by pressure, not by blade sharpness, so it is perfectly safe to use in your home. The blade itself is shielded by a plastic cover and a safety guard, so the opportunity for injury is truly minimal.

Multi-media crafters will adore this machine because is it ideal for paper crafting, too! Use any of the embossing tools to create fancy edges for cards or scrapbook layouts. The machine cuts a maximum 6" wide strip, which is ideal for card making.

Simplicity has a variety of accessory blades and embossing rolls sold separately. The machine uses a standard 45mm rotary blade for easy cutting.
