I've just started working on a flannel rag quilt, and while cutting the squares, the nut/screw on my Fiskars 45mm Comfort Loop Rotary Cutter keeps loosening. I managed to finish all my squares, but towards the end of the 130+ squares, I had to tighten the nut after every cut. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, any suggested fixes? I've e-mailed Fiskars and received a message that someone will get back to me within five days, so in the meantime I thought I'd ask. Thanks!

Fiskars has a lifetime warranty and I have had to have 2 cutters replaced, no questions asked. I went to their website and got the contact information. http://www2.fiskers.com/CustomerService/Contact-Us The phone number and how to get the product replaced is all there. Good Luck Nancy

Yes! I have this problem, too, just not quite as often as you're having it. I assumed it's just part of using the rotary cutter. Mine is a 45 mm Fiskars, and was not that expensive. I keep thinking I'll buy a fancier one but I'm so used to this one that I never have.

There are several grades of Loc -Tite and the weakest one will allow you to get the nut iff the cutter. Each grade is a different color, so if you need to use it, ask at the hardware store or read the package. I think the yellow one is the least potent, but stay away from the red one.
