Review on Fiskars 197940-1002 Ergo Control Rotary Cutter, 60mm: Precision Cutting Tool for Fabric, Quilting, and Sewing Projects by Denise Davis

Cheap, lightweight, ultra-sharp cutter and fairly easy to use. The blade is retracted by default and can be locked/unlocked with a button. To use, simply unlock with your thumb, squeeze the handle and lock the blade again with your index finger, resting your thumb on the top of the cutter (a bit awkward - it would be better if you could unlock and relock with just 100mm). your thumb). Uses standard 60mm blades. Changing the blade is also easy (put the blade down, release your finger and remove the catch, then lift the knife off the blade resting on the locking bolt). You can easily remove the blade and switch to the other side (both sides of the body are identical). I was struggling to cut the stretchy, thick plush fabric and decided to purchase this circular knife. With elastic fabrics, it was almost impossible to make a straight cut with scissors (distorting fabric). This cutter saved me completely. I was able to cut through four (quite thick) layers at once. Blade Size Note: In general, smaller blades are better for cutting curved lines and larger blades are better for cutting straight lines and more layers.
