For long edges and patchwork the rolling blade is faster and more accurate than any pair of scissors. The size comes to Ø 28 mm. Sold as a single item. The material is stainless steel, plastic.
For alterations, shortening and taking old pieces apart, cutting tools belong within reach of the sewing table. After cutting, the tool goes back closed or secured, so that nobody reaches into it. Cutting on a base is cleaner: a mat takes the blade and spares the table at the same time. Anyone sewing regularly likes to keep such notions in duplicate.
What Prym Rollschneider Mini Ø 28 mm 611371 is suitable for
- Patchwork and quilting
- Alterations and shortening
- Crafting with paper and film
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep the edge sharp?
Use it for one material only and store it dry. Cutting paper or tape with it shows after just a few metres of fabric and calls for resharpening.
How do I cut straight?
With a ruler and a firm surface rather than freehand. The fabric lies flat and without tension; even a slight ripple under the blade pulls the cut askew.
When should a blade be changed?
As soon as it leaves threads standing or asks for more pressure than before. A blunt blade drags at the fabric instead of parting it, and the cut edge shows it.
How do I look after it?
Wipe dry, never rinse, and keep the joint moving with a drop of fine oil now and then. Moisture is the only real enemy of a cutting edge.
