Replacement blades keep a rotary cutter sharp — a blunt blade drags at the fabric instead of parting it.
For alterations, shortening and taking old pieces apart, cutting tools belong within reach of the sewing table. Cutting on a base is cleaner: a mat takes the blade and spares the table at the same time. A sharp blade needs less force and runs more calmly, which spares wrist and material alike. These notions fit any sewing drawer and come to hand quickly. Prym has made sewing notions in Stolberg for generations. The pack states the size, so buying more later stays easy.

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.
Do I need a cutting mat?
With rotary cutters, yes, otherwise the blade runs into the table. The mat closes up again after each cut and lasts a long time when stored flat.
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.
How do I make it safe?
Store it closed or locked and out of reach of children. On a rotary cutter the guard goes back after every cut, not at the end of the day.
