AbbieT's Reviews

I actually just bought this item last night and I am so in love with it. I knew I had to come on a write a good review for it. I have never owned a circle cutting system before. I have never wanted to spend the money on one. I usually just trace and cut the lids of pans and stuff. Last night, I went out on a wim and bought this one.

I am SO glad I did. It cuts beautifully and quickly. A much faster system than what I was doing before.

But the greatest part is this. The directions say the biggest size circle it can cut is 7 1/2 inches in diameter. I wanted a cutter system that could cut bigger than that. WELL I discovered if you just flip over the blade you can cut along the OUTSIDE of the template. This gives you WAY more options. I was able to cut a circle 11 1/2 inches in diameter. I am SO glad I finally bought a circle cutter. I know it will get ALOT of use!!

I was surprised to see the negative reviews this product received. I am always buying new paper trimmers because I always am losing them or loning them to friends. This was by far my favorite trimmer I had gotten in a long time. Because of the way it is designed, it is SO easy to be accurate with your cutting. I had the last trimmer (the black one) and it was incredibly hard to see the numbers. I am an event planner and I make alot of my clients wedding invites and programs. I have to have a trimmer that i can cut extremely acurately and quickly with. I also love the rubber grip bottem. It stays in place on my table even when I am cutting quickly. I really love this trimmer and I can't imagine ever replacing it.

I had never heard of the crop a dile until when night I was applying my eyelets the old way-way hammer and setter. I was growing really frustrated. I have a baby and I don't live in a big home. I do all my scrapbooking at night, and I couldn't use my hammer and setter and night with a sleeping baby. I would always take my supplies out side to do it. My neighbors probably thought I was Coo-Coo. Anyway, I told my friend my dilemna and she proudly told me about the crop-a-dile. I ran out and got it the next day, and I have been a major fan ever since. It is so quick and quiet. I love it.
