Review on πŸ”ͺ Enhanced 45mm Olfa Rotary Cutter for a Deluxe Cutting Experience by Morgan Gilmore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Yes you need a

I recently took up sewing (machine sewing - I've sewn by hand all my life) after inheriting my husband's great grandmother's sewing machine. Trying not to buy everything at once, I figured the cutting knife fell into the "nice but not necessary" category. Can't I just use good scissors? Then I really tried. Not as easy as it seems! One of my first projects was also about flannel and terry cloth. It took me 30-45 minutes to cut the first set of parts (one piece at a time). I couldn't do more because my hands were tired (I still have bad hands). I decided to check out Revain's rotary cutter prices since Joanne's cheapest was at least $20-$25. Imagine my delight when I found it for only $10! It arrived today and I decided to see how much faster I could cut my pieces. The last two pieces of flannel and two pieces of terry cloth were marked, cut and folded in about 15 minutes! It required very little pressure and the cuts were precise, easy and quick. And no hand fatigue! I was concerned about having to hold the handle to keep the blade engaged, but it only requires a light grip and because it's so much faster I did it long before it was a problem. I love that there is a locking button to keep it open or closed, it's a nice security feature. All in all, this is an amazing price for a fantastic tool. I highly recommend!

Pros
  • rotary knife
