Clover Soft Cushion Rotary Cutter: 18mm, Green, 1

The grip is really comfortable, however the blade is really stiff and struggles to move. Fabric is bunching up at the front of the blade.. Can't see a way to loosen. Maybe will have to look at the Olfa and ditch this one but for now go back to my 45 mm.

I use these cutters daily...and my favorite is actually a Dritz brand because it is designed so that the blade is away until you press the cutter to the mat. I thought from the description that this one worked that way--but it has a button you have to push to expose the blade. If you do not push it to retract the blade then the blade stays exposed. It is not the best design for safety purposes. But it does work, the grips are a helpful feature and its easy to change the blades. But it is not a safe cutter in my opinion. This was ordered because I was a guest in a studio for several months and didn't bring my Dritz with me and thankfully I got the Dritz cutter mailed to me so this is only a backup. This is really surprising for Clover because I usually like the way they design their products.

Having bought two Friskas ones (45mm) which are both faulty - both fail to cut at one point in the rotation, and changing the blade doesn't change this and two are doing it. This purchase was me giving rotary cutters one last try. So glad I did! It's fabulous. I can cut with a lot less pressure. It's consistent too. I have done a LOT of dress making for a holiday very recently and this has saved me hours. I am a covert to rotary cutters now. I used it to cut out the diamonds from remnants to make my own sewing weights too... Its really good for cutting awkward shapes as it's much more maneoverable than the 45mm ones.

Have been very disappointed in the past with various rotary cutters, but am delighted with this rotary cutter. It’s also for the left-handed. Excellent cutter. Excellent seller. Highly recommend AAA***

Soft grip handle takes the strain out of cutting fabric. Smaller cutting blade is great for going around tighter corners on sewing patterns. Blades are easy to replace but one does last for a while. Clean cut on the fabric and any fibres can be brushed off the blade. Great product for anyone who sews.

I use this Clover rotary cutter in my sewing room and it is far superior than the one I had previously. I highly recommend it for comfort and ease of use.

It’s a good cutter

Sometimes you have to apply more pressure when using certain fabrics but again it's Clover a trusted brand It is a very useful tool to have in yur sewing bag I love it and although small it's safe to use
