I'm relatively new to quilting and bought this as my first rotary cutter. I will say it worked well at first and since I hadn't own a rotary cutter before, I thought highly of it. After less than a week of quilting and cutting fabric, boy did the blade dull quickly! It was so difficult cutting, I had to use my hands and knees to push down with my weight just to cut and even after cutting, I had to continuously go back to use my small scissors to cut the pieces that did not cut through. I only cut 1-2 layers and even with one layer, it did not cut through all the way. Quite annoying so after a week, I was determined to buy a new rotary cutter. I did my research and bought the Olfa Quick Change 45mm rotary cutter. Talk about a world difference my new Olfa rotary cutter made! Now I know the difference between a good and bad rotary cutter. The Olfa one literally glides across fabric(s) effortlessly compared to this one--even when it was at its best. Had I known how crappy and quickly this one would dull, I would not have bought it. I would not recommend this product if you're going to use it repeatedly.
