Rotary Cutters & Accessories

A rotary cutter is a handheld cutting tool, commonly used in sewing, quilting, and crafting, featuring a circular blade that rotates as it's moved across fabric or other materials.   It's designed to cut through multiple layers of fabric quickly and precisely, making it a popular alternative to scissors, especially for creating uniform shapes and sizes for patchwork or quilting. 

Components:

• Circular Blade:

  The sharp, rotating blade is typically made of high-quality steel, often tungsten carbide, for durability and sharpness. Blades come in various sizes, from 18mm to 60mm, with larger sizes handling more layers of fabric or thicker materials. 

• Handle:

  The blade is encased in a handle, which can be ergonomic and designed for comfortable use, some even catering to individuals with arthritis. 

• Safety Features:

  Rotary cutters include a safety mechanism to cover the blade when not in use, preventing accidental cuts. Some designs feature a sliding or push-button mechanism to expose and retract the blade.
