OLFA 9880 RM-CG 12" x 18" Self-Healing Double-Sided Rotary Mat Review

Average Reviews:

I purchased the Olfa Cutting Mat through my local quilting shop - at the recommendation of the owner, who has pieced countless quilts and advised even more quilters. In her opinion, this was the best mat for the price. And, since we are friends and fellow-business owners, she is someone I trust.
The size works well for me (24" x 36"), and I have cut strips / squares for two quilts now using my mat. In spite of the fact that many of the cuts are in the same location, there is no indication of even a scratch on my mat. The size is also great since I have been able to use it in several different locations to cut my fabric - including a store counter.
While I know many mats will do the same thing, I have only used this one. And, having both the grids and the inches marked on the one side has made it possible for me to accurately measure my fabric. The other side is unmarked for general cutting.
Because of how it has worked for me, I give it five stars.

This product will cut cloth only at the very tip. Beyond the tip you cannot cut. I returned them. I ordered another pair and had the same problem. Don't buy this brand.

Fiskars 94337097 Kids 5-Inch Softgrip Left-Handed Pointed Scissors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a right-handed person, I got fooled into believing that ambidextrous scissors for kids were the same as scissors for left-handed kids. WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!! My 6 year old has been cutting with ambidextrous scissors ever since she started cutting ... and I believed she cut well - straight lines, good circles, etc. However, when she brought to my attention the other day that she had some "good" scissors and some "bad" scissors - I had to find out what the difference was. So, I did some research only to find even though I thought I had been doing the right thing by getting ambidextrous scissors - it only meant the handle was a shape that either right or left handed people could use - it didn't mean it cut for a leftie. The proof is in the scissors. Scissors truly intended for left handed people will have the left blade raise up when you open them - where as ambidextrous scissors (like scissors for right-handed people) will have the right blade raise up. For a leftie - this causes the paper to almost bend before they can cut it. These are truly as they are advertised. I gave them to my daughter and instantaneoulsy and surprisingly - she started to cut even better and straighter. Would definitely recommend these for a leftie - it is definitely worth the price!

The smaller pair of scissors in this two pack are great for every day usage (I would not use them on cloth if you use them on something else first). The large pair sits flat on one edge so that you can rest the scissors flat on a surface to cut fabric. Both are comfortable in the hand (I'm right handed) and are super sharp, making cutting a breeze.
I would highly recommend these.

I'll keep this short and sweet. I've had these for about 7 years now and they work just like the perfect scissors should. The cut is always perfect and I have not had to tighten them ever. Let just say these scissors are the ones I always dream about when I need to cut somthing, and when they are lost you would not believe how ticked off I get!

The USRSA awarded one of its members a prize for recommending this pair of shears for cutting out string beds in tennis racquets. I have to say that it certainly is a great tool for the job. I've been using it for several months and it goes through anything including Kevlar strings with ease.

I have a pair of buttonhole scissors just like this only made in Germany for Singer. The screw on the side prevents cutting through the stitching. Make a few practice buttonholes and try the scissors on that. What's your alternative?...an Exacto knife or some other scary tool?

My old Wiss pinking shears have lived a useful life, but are no longer sharp and no one sharpens scissors any more. I decided to treat my self to a pair of Ginghers because I've always known the company makes a quality product, but haven't been able to afford them until recently. What a treat! These scissors cut through fabric with no effort and are a wonderful tool for anyone who sews. Further, Gingher will sharpen them, when necessary and guarantees them for life. I was fortunate enough to purchase my Ginghers from an Amazon partner at an unbelievable price. I've also noticed that one can sometimes get a bargain from several on-line auction sites, but if you need pinking shears and can't or don't want to fool around with an auction, these are definitely worth paying full price for.
