Your thoughts on Fiskars Shape Cutter??

[christinadei]

I've had a few circle cutters before and hated them. Do any of you have this and like it? Is it easy to use? I love that you can get several templates and cut out lots of shapes. ANythoughts or tips on it?

I have the Fiskars shape cutter and I have about 9 templates and one alphabet set. I do love the system, and it is easy to use, but you do have to practice first. Depending on the thickness of the paper you are cutting you can adjust the blade, and you can cut free form shapes without any template. But for circles and ovals I use the creative memories system. You get a lot more size choices with CM for circles and ovals. Also I do end up changing the Fiskars blade often, so that might be something to consider.

I have one with quite a few templates. I have never tried to cut free form shapes, always sticking to the templates. The only problem I have with it is if I don't change the blade often enough it will rip the paper. I like it to make circles and hearts.
