Every once in a while I get to try out new products and share my thoughts about them with you. Today is one of those great days and I get to tell you about the Orbital Rotary Cutter Blade Sharpener and the Needle Sharpening Pad.
While at Quilt Market I picked up one of Sullivans new The Cutting EDGE rulers.
I've read about these for a while now but just hadn't ever tried one of them.
So.... here's the scoop on these cool new rulers, along the right side of the ruler they have a sharpening blade, made to sharpen your rotary cutter with each cut. Pretty nifty isn't it. I just started using mine yesterday so I'm not sure how long it will keep this blade sharp but if it keeps it sharper longer than it's definitely worth it!
The only disclaimer I have to share about this ruler is the sound. Since there is that sharpening edge on the ruler it makes a little noise when you sharpen. It totally caught me off guard the first time that I used it. Other than that it seems awesome.
And... check out that nice grid system on the ruler, the amazing Pat Sloan designed that!
