What brand of rotary cutter is really good?
#1
I am in the market for a new one and I want one that is really good for cutting through several layers of cotton fabric. I'm looking for something at Joanne's since I have a 40% off coupon. What is a good brand?
Thanks! :-)

My favorite is the OLFA with the self-retracting blade. You squeeze the handle to use it and when you let up on it or put it down, the blade automatically goes back. So if you drop it or leave it out no one gets cut. I have both the 45mm and 60 mm but use the 45mm the most. The blades also are pretty good, (unless you hit a pin, guess how I know?)

I have an Olfa I use that is nice. It isn't the automatic retractable blade but I've gotten in the habit of closing my blade whenever I've finished making a cut. I just do it automatically and never even think about it.
