For long edges and patchwork the rolling blade is faster and more accurate than any pair of scissors. The size comes to Ø 60 mm. Sold as a single item. Produced from stainless steel, plastic.
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. 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 Prym OLFA Rollschneider "Jumbo" 60mm 611387 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.
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 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.
