A rotary cutter parts fabric in one straight movement without lifting it. The stated size is Ø 45 mm. Sold as a single item. Made from stainless steel, plastic.
After cutting, the tool goes back closed or secured, so that nobody reaches into it. When cutting long lengths and in patchwork every straight edge counts, because small deviations add up across many pieces. 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 Love Rollschneider 45 mm 610473 is suitable for
- Cutting lengths of fabric
- Alterations and shortening
- Unpicking old seams
Frequently asked questions
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.
Is there anything for left-handers?
Yes, Prym offers shears with reversed blades and rotary cutters that set up for either hand. The pack states which applies. If unsure, try the tool in your hand before buying.
