I was so excited to receive this awesome box in the mail from Olfa...
I was even more excited to open it and discover these little treasures waiting for me...
I quickly opened up the 28mm Olfa rotary cutter and went to work trimming up
some flying geese units.
Let me show you how convenient having this little combo sitting right beside you
at your sewing table is..
Now y'all have read about my love of the Olfa company when
so it should come as no surprise when I was contacted by OLFA to write this

There is no competition between trying to use scissors to cut fabric for quilts and using a rotary cutter. Life is so much simpler!
ReplyDeleteYes it is...
DeleteAs a new quilter working with my Mother-in-Law, a long-time quilter, we were cutting blocks for her to stitch. She was so surprised as she had never seen one before! I was happy to be able to show her something. I think about her hand cutting all the quilts she made and am so happy to have a rotary cutter!
ReplyDeleteThey sure have made our life easier...
DeleteI love using Olfa rotary cutters. I have used them for years. I can't remember (well barely) when I didn't use them! I have several cutters and mats ....in my on the go sewing bags and at my machine. I love the small mats so I can use them right at my machine. If you are tracing around small pieces the mat makes a great surface to hold onto the fabric! Can't gush enough about this wonderful product! AKA: Iva
ReplyDeleteYou totally understand the mini mats...I love them
DeleteI love the accuracy I can achieve with a rotary cutter. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDoes help the process
DeleteBetsy You WON..please email me at kelly@kellyannsquilting.com
DeleteI love how quickly you can cut you fabric for a quilt pattern with a rotary cutter. If we still had to use scissors, I don't think I would be a quilter.
ReplyDeleteMe either Becky...
DeleteThe rotary cutters are great. I have many in different sizes. You can never have too many cutters or mats.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that...I confess I have about a dozen..
DeleteI love Olfa Rotary Cutters. I am still gutted for having to "gift" my rotary cutter to the TSA. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteTeri
UGH..I'm betting the TSA has quit a collection of cutters
DeleteOne of the biggest things that has advanced quilt making in the last century! Many of the types of strip pieced quilts we make today would not be possible without it.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that Lesly-Claire
DeleteI love Olfa Rotary Cutters. I have more than one that is for sure. Never enough cutters. I could not cut a straight line without one.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine NOT using a rotary cutter. I also love the tips you've shared about them. For example starting your cutting about 1/4" into your ruler and "backing up" so as to not chip your ruler. Also always, always, ALWAYS, cover the blade when not cutting. And if KA is around and sees an open blade, she will close it FOR YOU!
ReplyDeleteI took a general quilting class before rotary cutters ... and decided it wasn't for me. It is because of the rotary cutter I gave quilting another try! ;-) And the rest is history!
ReplyDeleteLove Olfa and would be lost without my rotary cutter
ReplyDeleteI have tried all sorts of cutters and keep coming back to the Olfa , Love all the different sizes. Use the 60 for cutting fleece quilts for wounded soldiers. I use the 45 for charity quilts and for baby quilts for the family and love the little 28 for paper piecing. Wonderful product!
ReplyDeleteLove my Splash and isn't it interesting how certain cutters become our favorites!
ReplyDeleteI love the 28mm rotary cutter because it helps me with being able to sit at the table instead of standing all the time. I have more control with the smaller pieces I need to cut. Besides it so cute who wouldn't want to use one!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Olfa rotary cutters for making cutting fabric so fast and easy! I also keep a small mat and rotary cutter next to my sewing machine. I have 2 of the 60mm and 45mm, plus a 28mm and an 18mm. I also have a 45mm that I use just for cutting paper and plastic. I don't think you can have too many rotary cutters!
ReplyDeleteI've been quilting since the millennium, 2000. What a great year to begin a life long journey of quilting, learning, and using quilting tools; such as Olfa rotary cutters and mats. I love my Olfa cutter and large mat. Though I must admit, I'm in need of an upgrade /addition in both areas. Happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteI love my Olfa rotary cutter. I would never want to go back to templates and scissors. Has it really been 35 years already?
ReplyDeleteI am old enough to remember the days before rotary cutters, and what a difference they make! My rotary cutter has definitely improved speed and accuracy. Thanks for the chance to win these awesome supplies. I loved your video and the cute nametag photo!
ReplyDeleteI love the speed. You are done cutting in no time. Your pin is just too cute!
