I tried this rotary blade sharpener that I bought with my own money. I so wanted to love it but it didn’t work for me.
If this or a similar product has worked for you please comment and tell me:
A) when do you sharpen your blades - a set time or when you feel yourself having to press or when you get the hanging on threads like I had?
B) Was I using this one right? Or is there another one that is easier to use that you know of?
C) Do you have any other hacks or tips for sharpening rotary blades?

Do you sharpen your rotary blades? What do you use to do it?

@mariejohns1387 Год назад

Right!! Thats a charm pack!! Or a yard of fabric lol

@ThatisSewSilvia 9 месяцев назад

Normal knife sharpener. Works every time.

@virginiagrenier8572 Год назад

I've never seen these type of sharpeners actually work. I send my dull blades to LP Sharp (in the United States) and receive nicely sharpened blades in return. Probably not as cost effective if you buy new blades on sale but I like the idea of the blades not piling up in landfills.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Wish I could find somewhere near me that will sharpen them.

@tzfatree Год назад

This is definitely an opportunity for a clever engineer to come up with a better mousetrap. Also, I want a gizmo to sharpen my seam rippers!

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

There seem to be plenty more expensive options on the market (for sharpening the blades) but I wouldn’t want to pay that much without knowing they worked for sure!

@judypaling 6 месяцев назад

I have one of those and it works just fine for me. I sharpen the blade after each use. I don’t wait for the blade to get super dull. Also, I use much longer strokes than what you did. I don’t know if that makes a difference or not for the sharpening, but it did relieve a lot of hand pressure. I have arthritis, and I found the rolling one much easier to use than the ones like Colonial has. Also, if you have a nick in the blade, you need to just discard it. It won’t sharpen well.

@ScrapFabricLove 6 месяцев назад

Good to know!

@priscillastephenson7167 7 месяцев назад

thanks. you’ve saved us all from a useless purchase!

@mariaredpath3900 Год назад

If a thread or two isn’t being cut it could mean that there is a nick in the blade but, it could be caused by deep grooves and trapped fibres in the cutting mat.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Ah…that is definitely a possibility on my mat! Thanks!

@julieh4816 Год назад

I used that device on a very blunt blade. It worked for me, but you need to roll it for a while, i used pressure when rolling too. Have used the sharpened blade for quite a time too.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Interesting! How long is a long time if you don’t mind me asking?

@janicec1196 Год назад

I had the tru-cut sharpener and it didn't work for me either. I also tried the green disk one you have to turn by hand as well. Can't remember the brand. It didn't work. I also have the electric one. It has two sharpening stones plus oil you have to use. Still unsure about how good it works. I just know it's a pain in the neck to use. It was expensive too. I think the best option is to buy new blades. I could have bought a lot of new blades for the money I wasted on sharpeners.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

What a shame none of those worked!

@JennySimon206 10 месяцев назад

I bet a small belt sander is the best way. And some heavy asf leather or Kevlar gloves

@WaschyNumber1 3 месяца назад

In the sharp box they are other metal parts that dull even more the blades that they are after cutting.

@sus8e462 4 дня назад

Watching as tried a fancy gizmo once--may try again, but will first try my stones & strops for my skiver & other blades I use for leather. I've not tossed my old blades yet, but often choice of time/cost to put in a new blade vs sharpening... And over many years have tried many brands, and Olfa by far the best! And odds are will respond the best--but it's very easy to cause more damage to a cutting edge with an incorrect method when trying to sharpen 😮.

@ScrapFabricLove 4 дня назад

I would love to find one that works - would save such waste!

@SheaShea71 26 дней назад

Amazing, I hope that I have a cup that I can use.

@FredaM Год назад

I’ve never heard of any sharpeners that work from my quilting friends. You’re a brave woman handling your blades so casually 😬

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

What a shame that no one seems to have found one that works!

@WaschyNumber1 3 месяца назад

It's difficult to find it in the UK and its a shame that they dond have made one for 60mm blades. Perhqbse someone could make one in a 3d printer for free download or to buy. 🤔🤗

@bethkoch11 Год назад

I have yet to run across a rotary blade sharpener that works. Some probably do, but I haven't found one. Blades are expensive, and I probably use mine longer than I should (same with sewing machine needles), but I just look at it as life is too short. I just put in a new blade eventually. And yes, I run into that thread-skipping thing when I'm cutting, and I think it's usually a nick in the blade. I just had to change one yesterday that was doing that. It skipped a thread at even intervals, so I knew it was nicked.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

That makes sense- good way to check if it’s a nick.

@ShadowMoonFarms Год назад

Thank you

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Thanks for watching!

@nancyb2261 Год назад

I do not have a blade sharpener. I also use my blades for a lot longer than i see most people. They are so expensive. When I was in Edinburgh last month I dragged my family to Fabric Focus only to find it wasn't open on Mondays. So I went back to My Bear Paw and bought a fat eighth bundle. What a fabulous city is Edinburgh.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

What a shame it wasn’t open when you were there! Hope you got a good bundle!

@michelleinScotland Год назад

I bought one a long time ago. My hubby suggested that I should do using it frequently rather than when the blade got dull. That is to keep it sharp rather than try and sharpen it after it got blunt. I gave up and decided I would just keep buying blades; admittedly not the best blades.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

I get his point but it is a lot of hassle to have to remember to do that all the time. Oh well at least we tried!

@Crawford644 4 месяца назад

I always buy more as i go along bc i dont wanna run out i probably right now have 30 blades un used

@JennySimon206 10 месяцев назад

I read a review, they said to sharpen after every project. Easier to keep sharp than rescue. Also a word of advice from a person who cooked a lot. Keep the dull blades protected. A dull blade vs a blade tossed in with other blades and knicked are two different stories. That's why chef knives have sheaths all the time. Dull or not, u don't want to knick it. I'm a crocheter and knitter and learning to sew finally. I haven't gotten a rotary cutter yet. Doing research. Glad I am. I want to know if I can sharpen them or not. The Omni sharpener is another gadget like this that supposedly works good. They recommend a little oil on the sharpen stone. That would help probably. Keep them sharp and seperate is my advice from a chef.

@ScrapFabricLove 10 месяцев назад

Thanks!

@sewandcraftwithnuha 5 месяцев назад

I'm aboit to buy this because I have more than 20 dull blades now. I just feel guilty if those end in landfills. But knowing the sharpener doesn't work like that, I guess I will just postone my purchase

@ScrapFabricLove 5 месяцев назад

Sorry I couldn’t get it working. I know what you mean about feeling bad about such a throwaway item! It must work for some folk or surely they couldn’t keep selling them?

@laurastratton8614 Год назад

I had a blade sharpener several years ago but I gave it to a Charity Shop for resale since it didn't work for me. I don't remember the brand (in the US) I wish there was an easy effective way to sharpen rotary blades. New blades are expensive and I dislike throwing the old ones in the trash.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Exactly! Hate throwing them out when I know the the right tool could probably save them. I’d even pay to take them in somewhere to get sharpened if I could find somewhere.

@laurastratton8614 Год назад

@@ScrapFabricLove me too

@doreensherk287 Год назад

I have had different sharpeners over the years, and got the same results as you.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Blah! Sorry they didn’t work for you either.

@robintaylor8421 Год назад

I have tried the long blue one also and it did not work for me. I tried the smaller one from same company and it didn't sharpen either

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Oh blah!

@juliebute4063 Год назад

I’ve tried a couple of different sharpeners. I’ve even had my husband try to sharpen them and they just don’t work so I just buy new blades.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Seems to be the consensus from other commenters. Shame though.

@susanswett4515 11 месяцев назад

The instructions say to slide the sharpener back and forth. Maybe we’re suppose to roll it back and forth??

@ScrapFabricLove 10 месяцев назад

Yes that’s what I was doing. At least I thought that was what I was doing 🤷‍♀️

@sueroberts2301 Год назад

Thank you for saving me £9.50! I’d rather buy fabric 😂

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

It must work for some folk…🤷‍♀️

@saramcintosh2183 Год назад

😔I haven’t found one yet either!

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Doesn’t sound like anyone else has either- shame!

@susieguyton1781 Год назад

I have tried 2 different brands. Neither of them worked for me.😢

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Guess at least it’s not just me!

@dypick Год назад

I’ve tried several sharpeners and none worked. I was hoping that you had found one worth buying. 😢

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

So sorry to disappoint! I was so hoping it would work too.

@Crawford644 4 месяца назад

Omgosh does it work good ??

@ScrapFabricLove 4 месяца назад

It didn’t for me I’m afraid but it could have been user error potentially 🤷‍♀️

@alexandra-zaza-burns 9 месяцев назад

I know these sharpeners don’t resolve nicks in blades which might be why yours is leaving bits uncut.

@ScrapFabricLove 9 месяцев назад

Yeah maybe I wear my blades out too much!

@tamelasimmons7 Год назад

I have tried a few brands and none of them worked.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Blah. Sorry to disappoint again with this one!

@Iuwl Год назад

Can't say for myself but my mom uses one from USA, colonial brand and she loves it. Maybe it's one of those made in China workmanship

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Cool - never heard of that brand.

@julie1807 Год назад

Different brand, but same principle, didn’t work for me. Too bad as I really wanted it to work.

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Oh blah! Sorry yours didn’t work either!

@teresazebell2146 Год назад

None that I've tried have worked for me either!

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

Oh blah!

@jacquelinespivey2413 Год назад

@AuntDi2 11 месяцев назад

I will just replace my blades 😅

@tanyawilson9870 Год назад

I bought a sharpener and it did the same thing as your test did. Thumbs down on the product!

@ScrapFabricLove Год назад

I feel a bit better it wasn’t just me using it wrong 😂
