Hey Lindsay,
Joann's is having a 40% off sale on rotary cutters mats and rulers and I
have no experience with any at all and was hoping to get your input. For
the cutting mat I'm torn between the Omnigrid and Olfa. Also I'm having
trouble deciding what size to get. I dont have alot of table space and not
sure if the 24x36 is going to be way too big...(I'm a visual person) also I
dont want it too be too small and worried having a 18x24 may be troublesome
for cutting longer bits of fabric for quilting and i would hate to have to
return it since ill be buying online and then I'll miss the sale. When it
comes to the ruler I'm pretty sure Im going to get a long omni grid because
it seems to be easier to see the markings on different fabric....are the
squared rulers a necessity? For the rotary cutter Im leaning toward an Olfa
and wanting to get one that has a safety feature where you have to hold
down the button or handle for the blade to come out and it retracts when
your not hold it because i can be a bit accident prone and memory is not
its best so Im kind of terrified ill forget to close the blade. The olfa
with that feature seems to have a few people on the reveiws having issues
with it also do you know if it takes a whole lot of strength to get the
blade out because my hands can get weak at times. (I hate making decisons
can you tell? lol) So any input from you or a viewer would be
so appreciated.
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Oh and the omnigrid you were talking about to get the clear with yellow and black....was she referring to the ruler or mat because i havent seen a ruler that was green or a omnigrid mat that was clear but then again joann may not sale those
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich I went ahead and got the omnigrid mat 24x36 because the olfa got sold out minutes before i made my order :( ....got some assorted fabric quarters where you get 5 packs marked down for 1.49 which I have no idea how far that will go but i thought it was resonable....went with the olfa cutter that has the safety thing where you have to squeeze the handle...the 6 1/2 x24 in omnigrid ruler and then got a 12.5x12.5 "cutting edge" ruler to square up blocks which is suppose to sharpen your blades everytime you cut with it which the reviews say it actually works so hopefully it will save me money on blades....Im so excited to start...I hate waiting for online orders to mailed lol
+Sydney Doe Well, I am not an expert but my sister says the Omnigrid is the best, get the clear with yellow/black letters, not the green ones she saus. I thingk going wiht a bigger mat is better and the square mat wil make it easier to square up corners and even trim your block square (they need to be trimmed the same size. I might get a 12.5" square gird ruler now I know it is on sale! I only have the mat and cutter my SIL left me so I have no advise there, sorry:)
+Meli Isen I did but I should have started quilting in the center, I started at the edges stitching in the ditch and did not get too far because the materiel wanted to pucker. I know it is all held in placce though. I think I will hand tie the one I am working on now and also hand sew the binding because it is really messy but it is sewn down well and will not fray or come apart at least and it was made to be used;)
