Has anyone bought the Martha Stewart rotary cutter and ruler?
Walmart carries them in the decorations aisle. The cutter rides on the guide that is on the ruler. You have to buy the cutter separatly though. When I checked on line for the cutter it says it costs $20.00. But I went to the store earlier and I think it was $15.00 or $16.00. And I think the same with the ruler. The ruler was 6 x 14 or 18".
Any how, if you have do you like it? How well does it work for you? It is in the decorating depart. But the packaging on the ruler looks like they were using fabric to me.

Can't help. Didn't know she had anything like that.

Sorry, can't help, but I will look for it next time I go to WM.

I have the cutter, my mom gave it to me. I love it but the screw keeps coming loose. Sorry I don't have the ruler.

Not I......

I avoid that woman like the plague, she is rather scary with that odd smile and leery eyes.

LOL :lol: :lol:

I will stick with Olfa and Omni Grid...I am very happy with those products.
Enjoy if you get them!

I don't think Martha would know what to do with most of our quilting tools.

:lol: I don't have anything nice to say about Martha so I am not going to say anything at all. :lol:

Is this your first rotary cutter purchase? I think you'll do better with the more common brands. Not to dis Martha, but she's not known for her quilting tools.

Rotary cutters are kind of personal. Some have features quilters love and other quilters hate. If you have never used a rotary cutter, buy one within your budget and practice. You'll get used to it and it will probably be the only cutter you'll ever want or need. Change your blades often. It's not worth the arm pain or skipped threads to deal with a crappy blade. The blades are not cheap, but having a sharp one makes all the difference.

I experience cutting fatigue often. My hand and elbow get it if I cut too much. I'm in considerable pain if I continue cutting. Sometimes there is swelling or tenderness. So far, the only thing that helps is to let everything rest a couple of days. I can usually get back to chopping, but I make sure I have a sharp blade and I'm not putting pressure on my joints.

Good luck fining your cutter. Be safe with it.

No I,m not looking for a cutter. I have a fiskers and an olfa. I just so happened to see Marthas.
