Rotary cutter help please

Aug 02, 2007 2 Replies

I am making a paper-pieced hexagon wall quilt hanging and have 750 hexagons to cut - they are 1/2 inch hexagons - I was cutting them out with scissors, but thought a small rotary cutter would be faster - does anyone have any recommendations on brands or sizes? Thanks Ruth


I've never seen a small (18mm) cutter by anyone but Olfa. Doesn't mean it isn't out there though! But if it's paper pieced, why bother? All you need is a square big enough to fold over your paper templates. Also makes it easier to line up 2 of the hexagon edges on grain. Roberta in D

I keep one or two of my used Olfa blades to use just for paper. I usually use my 45mm cutter. Love using it to cut paper since it is so much faster than scissors and much easier on my hands. Once I finish using the blade on paper, I figure it is done and then will get rid of it.
