When I am doing lots of string piecing, I have struggled to clip all the pieces apart. For many years, I used the “Sunflower Quilts” thread cutter….
And, while I liked it, I found that the blade eventually dulled, and I ended up breaking the thread rather than cutting it.
I even bought some tools to try to sharpen the blade, but it didn’t work.
Last August, our guild had a wonderful night where we shared our favorite tools, and the “Blade Saver” was presented.
It came in this small box….
…and contained all of these parts….
The thing that I truly like about this tool is that it uses OLD Rotary Blades, and I have a whole container of them!!
It was so easy to put it all together
….and it works like a dream…..
AND…..if one area gets dull, I can simply move the cutter to a different area or put in a new blade!!
I have definitely found a FAVORITE TOOL!!
Do you have a favorite tool…..PLEASE tell me about it!!
