Review on Clover 499 Slash Rotary Cutter by Shantel Griffin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

not as expected just a little lighter than scissors

I think I expected this knife to be like a regular rotary cloth knife but it isn't - it doesn't roll at all - it's just a sharp one Edge that works by pulling the fabric. Using it is like pulling the edge of a sharp pair of scissors. It works fine for one layer, but if it's thicker it gets stuck. You should also have the fabric flat and on a flat surface for best results - be careful as it gets tangled in the fabric very easily. It will withstand a few snips, but once dulled it often gets stuck, causing the blade to rotate to reveal a new, sharper edge, but if you're doing a larger project like an entire quilt, you'll end up with it blunt the entire blade. maybe 2 in depending on the thickness of the fabric. It's a normal tool. not necessarily. in a smaller project - scissors is easier for me.

Pros
  • Sewing Tools & Supplies
