Crayola Cutter

I've been seeing a commercial of tv for the Crayola Cutter. It is for children to cut out paper easily. My thought was it might be a great way to cut out quilting templates. Has anyone noticed this commercial on tv, what are you're thoughts. I was developed to cut paper, but if the price is right I might get it to cut the plastic for quilting motifs. I have the stencil burner and I'm not very good at getting smooth edges, but I thought the new cutter may be just the right way.

Bonnie, I've seen that commercial with Billy....I mean how could I not...He points out all those kinds of commercials to me right now..."I want one of those for Christmas mom, LOOK!"

But it looks to me like the same set I got from Fiskars for scrapbooking? I'm not sure, I haven't seen the Crayola Cutter up close and personal yet - but I did mention to him that he could do the same thing with our scrapbook set.

Have you seen those, I'm pretty sure it's Fiskars brand? Because I got it out of my old scrapbooking box not long after I started quilting and used it one day to cut a heart shape template.

This is an expensive battery operated Exacto type knife. I'll stick to the much less expensive manual type and use the rest of my money on stash. Debra in VA See my quilts at

Thanks Pat.

Looks interesting. I would like to see a review if anyone buys one but don't think I will be the first.

Hmmm I just thought it was a "tool" rather than a kit. I was thinking work may have needed one but alas I don't think I'd be able to get away with this.....

I didn't think it was like an exacto knife - can't imagine giving a child an exacto! I'll keep watch for sales before Christmas. I may get one just to check it out if the price is right. My DGD will enjoy it if I can't use it for stencils.

The Fiskars shape cutter is the same price online. I'm sure they both vary elsewhere.

I couldn't think of anything else that would cut at the point like that. I'm imagining an exacto blade with only the tip of the point sticking out (an 8th inch or less) only when the tool is in someone's hand and the power is turned on. It could also be a tiny, nearly bead sized rotary blade with the same sort of protective features.

I think if a kid is old enough to use a steak knife or a decent pair of scissors safely, then the kid is old enough for an exacto. Debra in VA See my quilts at
