Now I've shopped for (a) the book; (b) the rulers, I need recommendation for the best rotary cutter....
Any ideas anyone (Imi?) please?
Thanks in advance

I have two, an Olfa 45mm, which I use most of the time, and a Clover 25mm, which I use with those infuriating template thingies.

Olfa 45mm, I had a Fiskars one to start with and it put me off rotary cutting for quite a while, then I bought the Olfa and all problems solved. That is a personal thing, I just didn't get on with it - reason?????? I also have the Olfa 29mm I think it is but that is a fairly recent uy, I could live without it.

I started with a 45m but then bought a 28m ....
for what reason ... I cant quite remember now, probably small freestyle curves ... but now its the only one I use !
It's a matter of what suits you !

I have a Fiskars one like this

But as Iminie says, get one that suits your hands.
Also get into the habit of always snapping the safety mechanism into place every time you put it down, even if only for a few seconds. Those circular blades are sharp!

I love my 'sew easy' one... but use Fiskars, Olfa etc with no problem. :D
