I will check the local Walmart on my next trip there....

yes, JAS carries this cutter. My store always sells out when coupons are available

It makes great circles. However, after cutting a few circles the included small cutter blade gets clogged with threads and has to be cleaned. It is a good gadget if you aren't cutting a lot of circles at one time.

FYI this item sells for $19.95 on Amazon...jet.com shows $28.88. Could be fun to have.

When I was cutting lots of circles out of denim and out of cotton (not at the same time) I used the one with the pin that someone else mentioned (is it from Fiskars?). It would go through 2-3 lays of denim, depending how thick the denim was, and I could get about 6 layers of cotton cut. I made one of those fake cathedral ceiling quilts (using two circles, one cotton and one denim and boy was it heavy).

Having said that, I could never have gotten a ring circle out of the one I used, like it shows in the ad. That would be interesting. But my question is, do I really need to get another notion that will probably just sit in a drawer and be used a few times (or never, sometimes in my case) or would I rather buy fabric?

I rather do both.

I bought one today at Walmart. It rang up $19.97. Then I went to the quilt shop sale and bought ten yards of fabric.

I'm making the Lotus Blossom Pincushion and it takes a lot of fabric circles. I have been using my Go die for the pincushions but wanted to make larger ones then the circle die I have. The large circles make great Lotus pillows. The Lotus cushions of all sizes have been a good seller at my sew group's sale table.

Thanks for the website. How much did you sell the pincushions for? I can see them selling well at a quilt show. Great idea.

Here is the pattern I use. I use the same size circles for each one. It doesn't make that much of a difference.
