Never knew why to use a different blade diameter. I’m watching the whole presentation. Thanks!

[@BAM-jc7uy]

RA: Thank you, thank you for a great vid. 👍 I have been waiting YEARS for a man's complete point-of-view and tech info on "everything u need to know" about rotary cutters. I get so confused with the wave washer, the which way up on the nut, etc when changing out blades. Speaking for us short term memory people.....Looking forward to a booklet or leaflet with all that u have taught and noted in this info-instructional video. Be well in the Lord❤ . gr-granny NM p/s Too bad there is not "buy back" from blade companies for old, dull, nicked blades with fabric stores being the return/recycle centers and in return the customer gets a discount/coupon for a (future) blade purchase.

[@lindastevens8392]

I struggle with replacing the blades. I take my cutter apart, placing each piece in order on my table exactly how I take the blade apart. I seem to have blade replacement success. Your demo is EXCELLENT and you actually explain WHY it has to go back together in a particular order. Personally, your explanation makes a big difference to my Old Brain! Any suggestions on how to separate the blades out of the packaging without cutting yourself? The oil sort of holds the blades together like glue. Thank you!

[@jenniferdavis5482]

Rob you are awesome! I have a small fortune in all the rotary cutters! Once I try to change the blade it never never never cuts right again! Thank you so very much so informative!

[@nadiabardack6613]

OMGosh this was WONDERFUL! I can not pick one fav thing because it was all so useful. Please continue to do more. Would love one on rulers and other notions! Keep up the great motivational work!

[@FinisP]

Thanks!! This was so informative. Now I need to check all my Cutters to make sure the blades are installed properly 😊

[@helenedesmarais8697]

The little wing thing waving back at you...If I can find it. NOW I know what was missing and wobbling and how to put it back. Thank you.

[@lindawhitver4740]

I love that you’re going back to basics. I’ve been selling in quilting more years than I want to remember. 😂. The products have changed the brands have changed and it’s nice to have a review or update. Thank you

[@ltrow3636]

Oh my goodness--a Ruby Red cutter! I looked forever when they first came out and could never find one!! Keep the videos coming!

[@carlsass4500]

Nice job explaining the difference between the rotary cutters and yes I love my Quilter's Select rotary cutters! Thanks Rob for the info

[@lindabardes9974]

Great class. I did learn several things…and I’ve been sewing for 10 years. Thanks

[@shannonschwab3754]

Nice video. Not even 4 minutes into it and I learned all about my 60 mm cutter. It's the only one I use but it *may* be overkill 😂 for most of what I do. Thanks for the informative video

[@jenihansen7201]

Hi Rob, this is Caps Lock JENI. LOL. So good to see you and love when you do tutorials.

[@susanbaker8023]

Great info Thanks. I still sometimes get confused changing blades. I realize with the first cut usually. Just doesn't feel right. I always enjoy your videos.

[@creationsbycjdesigns7197]

I didn’t know the different uses for the blade sizes, thank you for sharing your experience/knowledge on rotary cutting.

[@loribufka1792]

Thank you for this, As I am a beginner, this type of information is priceless. You are so thorough, which I really appreciate. I would love a follow-up on using them correctly.

[@williamdyer7176]

Thank you, thank you,thank you! I had no idea there were so many different kinds of cutters. Now I can cut without threading to quite even time I start making a quilt.

[@carollebriton8675]

This rotary cutter lesson was awesome.

[@kraftdeb]

Great video. Love the explanation of changing blades.

[@Talk-to-the-Pugs]

Your giving us the good, the bad, and the ugly.

[@RoseJensen-pm1lj]

I LOVE my Olfa ergonomic spring loaded. Folks, that red locking button is for locking it closed, not open!

[@beverlybales9100]

Information was great. Putting the Olfa back together properly and separating the blades safely👍🏻thanks Rob!

[@margrettudor2115]

Always great info! Blade change out was a great reminder 👌🏻 Thank you for giving us your time❤I Always appreciate YOU!

[@brettster3331]

Great Video Rob!

[@tracy1200]

Now I know how to put my cutter back together correctly! Thanks!

[@Talk-to-the-Pugs]

I love everything I’ve bought from Quilters Select. Thank you for this post.

[@lindastevens8392]

Watched this again....and replaced a long-overdue change of my rotary blade (haven't changed it since Nov. '22 - my bad!!!)

[@lindatower6437]

Thank you. Good info. Very clear, as always!

[@maryhoover3769]

Awesome info. Do more.

[@marilynellibee]

Great info. Thank you

[@EQHL2005]

Thank you so much. I am missing the yellow disc on both my spring load olfa rotary cutters, which I have had for 15 years. I'm going to see I I can buy those. Also had my wave washers in wrong. Thank you again. ❤

[@christinewolf1797]

Great info! You don't always know what you don't know. Thank you!

[@marlenepaumen8903]

Very helpful!! Thank you!

[@denisewibbeler2116]

A great video 😊Thanks!

[@amyschaed5816]

Thank you this helps me

[@user-gh1tt2kb8z]

Great video!

[@michellestriegel7243]

Thanks for teaching this topic. I have never been taught about the different size blades. I once threw away a cutter because I couldn't figure out how to put it back together after I changed the blade. Now I think it was because I had the washer in wrong.

[@1marpha]

Rob!! I just got a ‘squeeze handle’ Olfa with an Endurance blade. OMG - game changer for this gal. You da best!!❤

[@nancyfahlgren369]

Ver informative! I've done the two blades.😮

[@vickieschulte7284]

Love the video

[@user-pt5bv1sv7n]

Thank you for answering my unasked questions! Glad you pointed out that it's better to get fresh new blade rather than sharpener! :) I am religious about changing to new blade frequently even tho it could get expensive for 2 reasons. First, well worth it for accurate cuts and Second, I did the ultimate and sliced the side of my opposite hands' finger after 30 years of experience! It immediately happened after I changed to new blade- so thankful it was fast, clean cut!!! Keep up great videos!

[@margiehogan5571]

Great tutorial. To dispose of my used blades is use an empty medication bottle (from the pharmacy) that has a twist top that locks. If the bottle happens to tip over the contents will not spill out. I also use this same method for my sew machine needles.

[@EQHL2005]

I have a 45mm and a 28mm. Happy with both of them.

[@granmahelen]

Great information

[@granmahelen]

Have never seen a quick release cutter

[@kennethwhitworth8563]

I like the Martelli rotary cutters

[@jenihansen7201]

Ordering the new blades and rotary cutter. Thank you.

[@StitchinHeaven]

USE THE CODE 😉

[@jenihansen7201]

I DID, AND THANK YOU.@@StitchinHeaven

[@jeanwest6236]

Thank you I love this onfo

[@galadriel4101]

Good morning thank you very informative. I have the shark works great. The one and only time didn't close the blade a brushed against it got lucky the blood didn't get any on the fabric.

[@gwenmalone9900]

Kai Rotary cutters are awesome. They open and close themselves

[@tracymassey4764]

Thanks for the assembly order for the blade replacement- I’m never sure if I have it out back together correctly

[@debbiewood2675]

Great video. I always get xonfused when changing blades. Have to watch carefulky as i take them apart. Have found the tellow plactic ring on the wrong side.

[@fuzzlekat]

Thank you for this. I have 2 blade sharpeners; they don’t get the blade as good as new

[@sherriwolters5306]

Good informative, but another thing to know, is when you buy blades in multiple packs, make sure you get only one blade, more then once I have put in more then one, yes it does drive me crazy, just noticed you were saying this as I was typed

[@susangordon2908]

Tip: When picking up the blade use a small kitchen/business magnet to protect your fingers.

[@melterpstra8999]

Great info! How about one on proper cutting with a rotary cutter? I would appreciate it. Thanks

[@susanmartinez8730]

How often do you change blades? Love this video!

[@jeandryja6992]

Guilty for not engaging the safety on my rotary cutter when putting it down! Time to buy one with the handle that automatically engages the blade cover.

[@suzanneramsay7757]

I must have missed the compass cutter example. I Will need to re watch. Thanks

[@StitchinHeaven]

No, you did not miss a demo with the rotary compass, I will do a video on that tool soon.

[@annesummers09]

Very informative RE; cutters but what about the actual blades? Tungsten or titanium. What's your opinion? Also, you didn't show a Martelli cutter. I just ordered one as I have arthritis. 😊

[@jancronkite5571]

Excellent! What brand is your favorite 45 cutter from Alex? Don't think you said or I missed it.

[@carolelliott9150]

Learned 28 is for curves

[@tracymassey4764]

Do you have any thoughts on the Martelli rotary cutter? I’ve seen it but not sure how much of a learning curve there would be to use it.

[@romeycarta]

Martelli and True Grip both have ergonomic cutters. I love the Martelli, in particular!

[@jeannyee2947]

Do you know if Quilter’s Select is coming out with a 28mm cutter?

[@jancronkite5571]

What is your opinion of the ergonomic cutters?

[@jeanwest6236]

What about the ergonomic cutters with quick release blade..any good?

[@landarogers9926]

I think I got how to change my Olfa cutter...I struggle with the direction if the washer. Thanks Rob. No one carries your shark blades. LOL

[@annapeluso9501]

I remember the time I replaced a blade and put two on. It took me taking the rotary cutter apart twice to figure out I put more than one blade on by accident. Never again. I have an 18mm Clover rotary cutter that when I tighten the back bolt all the way it won’t turn, but even slightly loose the bolt starts to unscrew. Any thoughts on how to fix this? (I typically use an OLFA brand one that doesn’t have this problem, but once in a while I end up having this packed into an EPP bag and don’t have a different cutter with me.)

[@helenlineham8515]

Ergonomic or the spring loaded handles the best too

[@fuzzlekat]

I prefer the one that closes when you let go. Not because of children, but so that it will close when I drop it.

[@user-vl5is8qj8x]

Thank you Rob!

[@michellebusta3507]

I never knew 10 layers of cotton could be cut at once.

[@janlawhon3240]

You are correct, I fell for the sharping tool thing, it was horrible big waste of money 😢

[@rebeccayoung5059]

Where/ how do you dispose of blades?

[@StitchinHeaven]

Sorry I forgot to include that info. I have a sharps container that I use for all blades and needles, then seal it and hand it over to the pharmacy in exchange for an empty sharps container.

[@davederrick9431]

Oh yes, I've put two blades into the cutter😅

[@jojosewist8921]

Very difficult to see what you were showing against that black background/cover on table. Also you flipped cutters over back and forth so many times impossible to tell which side you were actually working on. I say all this because I really wanted to learn the valuable info you were attempting to teach us. Of course it might be better if I watched on my pc screen and not the screen on my phone. 2nd time watching and still not sure where the wave bolt goes. I thank you for info on what symptoms mean when cutting. Also glad to know I will waste my money on a blade sharpner.

[@andre1987eph]

You're not a man until you know how to use a sewing machine. 🙂
