## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this just a paper cutter or will it cut fabric too**
A: I was informed  you can   cut thin fabric  if you use temporary adhesive  to attach fabric to a piece of scrap paper and cut on the paper side once cut remove paper. But this tool works best on paper and card.

**Q: if you had a template with a 30mm dia circle would the cut piece be smaller by much?would you have a 29mm cutout or smaller?**
A: Sorry - I can't help you. I found the gadget very contrary to use, and gave it up as a bad job.

**Q: Would this cut through leather up to 3mm thick?**
A: It would not be possible to cut through 3mm thickness of leather. This tool is best on card, plastic sheets ( upto 1mm)

**Q: Would this cut out letters?**
A: You would have to have the template to move it around against. I bought it thinking it would do felt but it couldn’t cope. Did paper well though.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent cutting tool that is safer than a naked blade.
*by P***E on 22 March 2017*

Really good quality and very easy to use. Spare blades are provided and while you can cut shapes freehand with this, there are stencils and other guides that can be purchased for use with this item. In the past I've used a scalpel and relied on a steady hand to cut shapes out of paper and card. This makes it so much easier that I feel rather foolish for using the scalpel for all those years. This is definitely a better way. Unfortunately, cutting very small shapes with this is not so easy, as there is no way to support the paper/card while working on very small pieces. That however is a minor niggle considering how much time will be saved cutting out other shapes. All in all I have no regrets purchasing this item, and I expect to get many years of service out of it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for crafters
*by A***R on 20 June 2019*

This is amazing. You just press down on whatever you want to cut out and 'draw' round it with the blade and it cuts it out perfectly (it takes a few practices to cut it to the edge). It's great for cutting images out of boxes and other difficult to cut material. I wouldn't recommend it for children though - I dropped it and picked it up and it sliced my finger. It has to be scalpel sharp though in order for it to cut.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very good idea
*by B***A on 21 September 2013*

Very handy for making the right shapes and sizes, would like to say it works perfectly with the cutter, but fiskars cutter blades (even brand new ones I bought) don't just 'cut' but tear.. but this template is perfect for what it's made for, and the extra edges are an added bonus..
