Curvy Cutter

[rumorbaby]

Does anyone have this?? I just got mine in the mail today. I got it on sale on Joanns.com. I got all three shapes. I opened it up and took out the blade and cut my finger right away. UGH, I am so clumsy!!

I cut a couple of ovals on a scrap piece of paper and it seemed to work well. I just need to figure out the templates.

Now, did i actually need it? Probably not since I have the CM cutters, but I am addicted to buying scrap stuff!!!

loL AND sniff! I really wanted those, but I'm grounded for a while. So, I will continue to use my coluzzle templates. I'll live through you, though (minus the boo-boos) LOL!

I bought the circle and square Curvy Cutters while I was at my parent's. They were out of the oval but I intend to get it. I also have the CM cutting system but this one does so many sizes. I really love it. I also bought the 13x13" glass mat by EK Success because you aren't supposed to used a regular cutting mat with the Curvy Cutter.

I think there's room in a scraproom for CM cutting system, the Curvy Cutter, and Coluzzle. At least in mine there is. LOL!

I have the Curvy Cutter and I really dig mine. The circles are BIG!
There was a gal on another board who says hers broke after a week and a half... I have had good luck though.
However, my boyfriend put the blade in for me because i was not sure how to put it in and he was afraid I would cut myself on it too LOL :-D

I finally got the oval template for my Curvy Cutter. I really love it! If you put your cutter on the outside of the track and pull the blade all the way out, you can cut an 11 1/2" circle. They don't show that on the directions but it does work. I think it's a terrific cutter!

I must be out of the loop.... I've never even seen one of these.... ok maybe I have... but I can't picture it in my head right now!!!

Em, its a set of cricles that has "track grooves " in it - light blueish-grean translucent in color, with the ttol that matches in an opaque color. The blade handle has 4 settings, so that 1 track will get you 4 circles out of it. Best when used with a glass cutting board or glass matt.

and i really dig mine too - the days of tracing dinnerware for circles are OVER for me - woohoo!
Ruby how are you liking it?

How am I liking it?? Well, I've used it twice, I think. I have all three sets of templates and have only used the circle one. I haven't been working on any LOs lately, just concentrating on ATCs (I'm a junkie) so I haven't really had an chance to use it -------- but it is a great tool.

I think Sarah got one recently too.

I have a cricut and a wishblade that both cut circles for me..... so I probably don't need this tool...... I don't cut circles that much anyways, but it sounds like a nice tool to have if you don't have a machine that cuts them for you. I know I needed a big circle before I got my wishblade, and I tried tracing a lid to a rubbermade bowl lol it didn't work too well!! This could have come in handy then!!!

I haven't done any layouts recently - been too busy, but I got the circle template and the cutter. DH just found a HIDEOUS glass cutting mat we got for our wedding shower years ago that we DIDN'T register for or want. Guess it'll be used now lol
