Cutterpillar Crop, Tim Holtz cutters and more paper cutters 

Thanks for watching and commenting! 💙

Glad it was helpful! In the long run the green one wasn’t for me. I’m too hard on things. 🤣💙

A Date With My Craftroom Thanks for the feedback, great to hear from you! If that small cutter did 12x12 I would have ended my search. I think it’s a great cutter. Thanks so much for supporting my channel! 💙

Happy to help! You might also want to check out the heavy duty fiskars orange giant. Price is similar to cutterpillar and some like it better. I’m curious, but have never tried. The cutter pillar is a perfectionist, not rough and tough. ☺️ Be kind to it and follow directions of you get one. 🤪

Sushy It’s really pretty cool. I haven’t used anything like it before. Thanks so much for watching. Have a great day!

Broke Budget Fashionista So far I’m really impressed with it! Thanks so much for watching my video!! 💙

Happy to share Barbara!! 💙💙💙

Hope it helped! TFW 💙💙💙

I like that smaller Tim Holtz one and use it a lot. It can’t do 12x12 and it doesn’t have 1/8 inch measurements. Those are my two issues with it. I am still curious about the big, heavy fiskars cutter. That’s pretty much the only one I haven’t tried. 😂TFW 😊

I’ve been watching gridlines more and more, funny you should mention that. I long for the days when the cutters were all straight and simple. I’ve been very happy with the small Tim Holtz guillotine and my Cutterpillar Crop as far as straight, nice cuts. Are you using the small Tim Holtz guillotine or the big one?

I’m using the big one from Tim Holtz... I’ve even tried using the Carl trimmer at work ( the huge one that costs over $500). I’m glad I didn’t invest in this one either - I thought I’d take all my cardstock and cut it in bulk to save me time - once again, the cut is out.... soooo frustrating. So, I’m back to my Trusty Tim Holtz...lol. I bought the big one as I had quite a bulk amount of 12x12 paper. I was also surprised how light it is to be honest and it packs away neatly. Thanks so much for your video - it was wonderful to see how the other trimmers compare.

I too have a Fiskars cutter that doesn't cut perfectly perpendicular with the paper guide at the top/bottom. Super frustrating. I thought it was me for a long time! I have tried using the grid lines and it's a very fair point that you could get better right angles by NOT using the only-sort-of perpendicular guide BUT (not to shoot the messenger) what popped into my head is there's a good likelihood of the paper slipping if you aren't bracing it against that perpendicular guide--for me anyway. I ended up with the paper slipping out from under my fingers pretty consistently when I tried that. Again, not shooting the messenger, just a rhetorical question: why did they design and build it with a perpendicular brace/guide if you aren't meant to use it or can't rely on its accuracy? I think the bottom line is the quality control is inconsistent from this company. My first, very old Fiskars trimmer cut perfectly perpendicular to the guide but my "upgrade" Fiskars trimmer does not and I'm annoyed at the waste of money and can't bring myself to buy another of that brand. Contemplating what to try next.

That's funny! My friend, Maria, would definitely agree!! I wasn't even thinking about colors!🤣💙💙💙

I agree. If I do any narrow cutting I always try to lay a ruler in the paper to help stabilize. I love my small Tim Holtz guillotine cutter for narrow strips, but 8 1/2 is about max length on it. Thanks for watching! 💙🤗

Painters tape is a good idea! Stays better than washi tape. 😁💙

cindy SJ I wondered about the cricut trimmer, but I just figured I would wear it out super fast. Maybe still worth ordering one?

Of course. yes! Please use a coupon or anywhere you can possibly purchase the trimmer for a less than $15. And you won't regret it. Have fun cutting!

cindy SJ Will do! Thanks for watching!! 💙

I got it for under $10 and I love it! You were right!

@@CraftingandRelaxing ... so of course we all want to know where did you get it for under $10?? Was it on sale

Yes, the cutter pillar really is great for precise work and the light is nice. 😁💙

Your pointers are all good. Sometimes I make 50-100 card bases at a time so going over the ridge with my bone folder gets old. 😁 Moving the paper over makes perfect sense. 👍💙💙💙

They did replace my blade for a very reasonable fee. I was completely open with them that I forced it and damaged. That’s a later video. I share when I do dumb things so I can save others. 😁 TFW 💙

I switched to the giant Fiskars cutter. 😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dT_f2SErqSo.html

@@CraftingandRelaxing thank you, I'll watch the movie in my free time :)

I've had a Cutterpillar since they came out- and it still cuts beautifully. Same blade, no maintenance. It's a workhorse, for sure!

@@cg2264 Thank you for your answer! Calmed me down. I bought it this year and so far I don't regret it. Yesterday I only noticed that one way it seems to get stuck in a few places, I have to look at it

I just wish it would cut smooth every time. 😩 If I get in a hurry I don’t pull the arm in tight enough...then I have a mess.

Welcome! The best all around cutter I have found for the money is the Cricut paper trimmer. Amazing for the $10 I paid so if price is a big deal get that little white one. Some people found the bigger green cutter than I got for thirty-some dollars on clearance at hobby lobby!! That’s a bargain for sure! Good luck on your cutter search! Happy I could help. 💙

@@CraftingandRelaxing Just read your reply. I went to Walmart a few hours ago and purchased the white Cricut Trimmer. It was a good price and I also used a gift card that had a few dollars left on It. I tried It and did seem to cut a straight line. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me.

I didn’t know we could pick it up at Walmart! Awesome. I think you will like it for the price. I haven’t had a problem with it and it’s so light and easy. Glad you found one handy. I love getting to know other crafters! 💙👍

The fold-up combo scoreboard one? Or is there another one I should test? 😄

I don’t think I’ve found one. I like the small grey Tim Holtz one. I damaged the green one. 🤦‍♀️ I’m going to try replacement parts for green one I think. Dream cutter must be out there somewhere! 😄

@@CraftingandRelaxing Awesome, maybe I'll try that one next! I have the Crafters companion guillotine paper cutter and I can't get an even cut to save my soul. Plus, I don't like that the whole unit comes up when I lift the arm up. I'm at the point that I don't care the cost, if fellow crafter's have found the miracle must have trimmer, then I'm getting it as well! I figured if it saves my cards, cardstock and sanity, then it'll be worth it! I truly appreciate your time and help!

MMSacca So far I love mine!

MMSacca So far so good for me!

Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Donna! 💙💙💙
