Replacement blades keep a rotary cutter sharp — a blunt blade drags at the fabric instead of parting it. The size comes to Ø 45 mm. Inside the pack are 3 blades. The material is stainless steel.
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. Fabric shears stay fabric shears: paper and tape blunt the edge faster than sharpening can restore it. Anyone sewing regularly likes to keep such notions in duplicate.
What Prym Ersatzklingen Rollschneider 45 mm 610472 is suitable for
- Patchwork and quilting
- Alterations and shortening
- Crafting with paper and film
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.
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.
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.
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.
