For long edges and patchwork the rolling blade is faster and more accurate than any pair of scissors. It measures Ø 45 mm. Sold as a single item. Made from plastic, stainless steel.
A clean cut decides the seam: what is cut crooked can never be sewn straight afterwards. Cutting on a base is cleaner: a mat takes the blade and spares the table at the same time. Fabric shears stay fabric shears: paper and tape blunt the edge faster than sharpening can restore it. These notions fit any sewing drawer and come to hand quickly.
What Rollschneider, prym.ergonomics, 45mm 610474 is suitable for
- Cutting lengths of fabric
- Patchwork and quilting
- Alterations and shortening
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 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.
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.
