OmniArc 8-Inch-by-8-Inch Non-Slip Circle Cutter,Clear,R4C12

The bright markings on this ruler make it very easy to use. I got the best results by cutting a square of fabric slightly larger than the circle I wanted to cut. Starch, press, fold in half, press, fold in half again (you have now folded it into quarters) and press a final time. The large dot and straight lines on the ruler helps you place the center of the fabric. Cut with a rotary cutter.I love using this ruler to cut pieces for a fan quilt. I added one more marking to this ruler, an X mark at 1/2 inch from the center of the dot on the 45 degree line. This becomes important later. Use a 6 1/4 inch by 12 1/2 inch rectangle, starched, pressed and folded it i half. Place the folded edge at the 90 degree mark. Cut the fabric at the 6 inch arc line. Use a fabric marker to mark the angle you want to use (example. Mark at 20, 40, 60, and 80 degree marks at the 5 inch and 3 inch lines). Lift the OmniArc without moving the fabric. Place the corner of the your fabric at the X you created on the OmniArc keeping the edges square. Cut out a small arc using the 2 inch arc line. Remove the OmniArc. Remove the small half circle from your cutting board. Place you straight edge ruler on the lines you have drawn and cut. Result, 9 perfect fan blades. Use a coordinating fabric to cut out a 2 inch circle for the center of the fan. Wow, it was much faster to cut the fan pieces than to write about it.

Terrific idea if you don't have a die cutting machine and don't have to make a lot of circles. I reviewed some on-line instructional videos to help figure out how to use this....before I discovered there are instructions on the template itself. You may have to experiment with your rotary cutter to find the right size to get into the cutting lines. Helpful tool for the home quilter

I am disappointed that my rotary cutter blade does not cut the fabric. I marked with a pen, then cut with scissors. Gives a perfect circle.

I love this. Reasonably priced. Perfect for cutting squares. Sturdy. Durable. Does not slip. Love the arcs. Would recommend.

Wasn't sure if I really needed this since I've been sewing for over 40 years without one!! Decided to get one to make rounded edges on placemats. Well, haven't used it for that yet, but have been using it for making mask patterns. It makes it so much easier to trace the pattern on my fabrics. How did I live without it all these years!! Looking forward to using it to make rounded corners on placemats this week.

Very useful for my needs. Good quality.

Excellent item for quilting.

l'emballage était très bien fait, le rapporteur de couture était intacte. le rapporteur de couture est très pratique pour le patchwork

Love all my omnigrid and this one is a new addition to my quilting templates, I've also used this for faux stitching on some of my greeting cards, using a tracing wheel in the grooves instead of a rotary cutter

Habe sehr lange nach diesem Cutter gesucht und freue mich endlich diesen Cutter gefunden zu haben. Lieferung schnell, ich bin sehr zufrieden.

Brilliant - wish I had bought one sooner. Definitely makes life in the patchwork/quilting/applique world much easier. Good quality - should last a long time.
