Description

Rotary cutting patchwork

The rotary cutter was designed to cut through multi-layers of fabric, quickly and accurately, allowing you to get to the fun part of sewing your project, whether by hand or by machine. The various styles of rotary cutter all basically do the same job, but the different sizes of blade, equate to the number of layers they will cope with.

Do not economize on the blades though; a blunt blade is potentially dangerous, and while you might struggle to cut the fabric, it can still rip through your skin like a thin papercut.
