Clover 499 Slash 28mm Rotary Cutter

I read many reviews and decided to go with the Clover versus the other chenille cutter because it has a handle. The handle is absolutely NECESSARY! My hand would be so fatigued if I had bought the other cutter or used my scissors. The Clover worked perfectly! I was cutting through 3 layers of flannel about 45 inches square. I never had to click the blade to a sharper section. I was done quickly and my blanket looks so cute! A definite necessary tool if you are making a blanket. Some tips to make it easier: 1. snip the ends of the flannel to start the cut 2. hold the fabric down behind the cutter with your opposing hand flat on the table 3. that being said, cut on a flat surface 4. keep the cutter perpendicular to the table to keep the cut straight 5. I tested the cutter out and cut the last ten lines without cleaning out the lint build up and it cut great from the first cut to the last! There is a small channel under the blade that collects the excess lint so the blade does not get clogged up. Genius! 6. If the fabric you are using is rather thick it may be better to cut one or two layers at a time. I used standard flannel, 3 layers, and it worked great but could see how a heavier weave fabric could clog things up. 7. pre-wash your fabrics to cut down on lint build up Excellent purchase! I would definitely recommend it to a friend!

I loved this cutter for making faux chenille blankets. I have previously used an Olda chenille cutter. It worked great, but was hard to hold and my hands hurt by the time I did all the cutting. The Clover cutter with the handle made the cutting SO easy. I wish the blade was larger—just feel like there would be more blade area and it would not wear down as quickly. I think it would be fine for cutting two quilts and then might need a blade change. I just ordered extra blades, and will choose the Clover cutter over my Olfa in the future. The handle on this one won me over easily.

I ordered this because i was planning on making several chenille baby blankets and I have arthritis in my hands as well as having had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists. I knew I couldn't handle using scissors to slash between all those many rows of stitching. I chose the Clover brand over the other popular 4-sided red cutter because, with its handle, I knew this one would be so much better from an ergonomic standpoint. And I was right! I never really timed myself, but I can easily slash a 40" square baby blanket (rows of stitching 1/2" apart) in well under an hour with absolutely no pain or soreness then or the next day! This product allowed me to switch from thinking I'd only make one or so of those blankets a year for someone special, into a "Sure, I'll make you one" anytime I want. Thank you, Clover!

I got this to use for making chenille pot holders. It works, but you do need to make about a half-inch snip in each row with scissors first, and I just use scissors for the shortest rows. It gets piled up with fuzz after a bit, but you can easily clean that out with a toothpick. How often you have to do that depends on how thick your flannel is. Still, it is SO MUCH easier on old hands than all that cutting with scissors that it's well worth the price if you are making very many. I've probably made around 8 sets of pot holders and am still on the first blade setting, but I was noticing on the last one that it might have been getting a big sluggish - so, I may need to put it on the next one. Even so, I can make a lot of pot holders with one blade, at this rate.

These are the best! Made a quilt coat for my daughter in law and a doll coat for my great niece with the leftover fabric. You can get the seam cut open easily. I used Carling loves cats quilt coat pattern.

One of several in my rotary cutter collection. It is particularly useful for small projects, small items. Much more maneuverable than larger rotary cutters. Blades are durable and easily changed. Highly recommend.

This honestly works better without the blue attachment pieces. I shouldn't have gotten this one. The blue cutting tracking pieces just mess up the flow of cutting and don't allow a clean cut. The blade alone works way better, but a little wobbly. I would not purchase again.

This replaces my old Olfa chenille cutter. That was also a good quality tool, but I prefer this one. I feel like the long, pointed part sets me up, and it feels more comfortable with a handle. These two features together make the work less concentrated and easier on my stiff, clumsy hands. It felt at least as sharp & smooth as my Olfa, if not more so. Cut the loops of a nylon throw rug like a hot knife through butter.
