Cutting a straight line with scissors is next to impossible, especially when you're trying to cut a piece of fabric. What will ultimately become your lifesaver is a rotary cutter; they're much easier to work with and will save you the agony of trying to cut a straight line when it counts. Olfa has the Original Rotary Cutter that will introduce you to a whole new world when sewing and quilting. This tool will change the way you cut materials from this day forward.
The classic straight position will have you cutting a perfect piece of fabric in no time. Now there's no fuss in trying to hold the fabric straight with one hand and trying to cut a straight line with the other; the rotary cutter will give you an even line every time.
Olfa Rotary Cutters come in multiple sizes ranging from 28mm to 18mm all the way up to 60mm; you can choose from either the straight handle or the deluxe handle that gives you a bit of a more natural curve when holding it. Olfa also has Quick Change Rotary Cutters if you're looking for something a little more advanced than the original. The 28mm Rotary Cutter is perfect for smaller projects and tight corners, and can easily cut through multiple layers. It comes with a durable handle and a blade cover for safety. The cutter is a rolling razor blade used to cut fabrics into shapes, strips and pieces for quilting and sewing. The blade is made of high quality tungsten carbide tool steel for amazing sharpness. This cutter is great for both left-handed and right-handed users.
Olfa's Rotary Cutters also come with blade replacements that can be switched when the original blade starts to dull down. Having a tool like this in your collection is a must-have when you're preparing to make your next quilt.
