❤so needed to see this. I gave up on my rotary cutter. To buy the cutter, then buying an extra blade and never seeing it work except at the store on their stainless steel table top, I put it in my sewing box and gratefully appreciated my fabric scissors! I am old school I guess but gave it a try anyway. But thank you for the demonstration. ❤

My husband learned how to sharpen knives with the wet stone and he told me it is quite a unique skill! So your hubby has a fabulous skill! Be sure to tell him how awesome he is knowing how to use the wet stone! Thanks for your video. I like the sharpener too!

I wish I’d seen this video before I went out and bought new blades. I’m new to quilting and I can’t get over the cost of just one! I ended up buying a five pack for around $50 Australian dollars. But I’m gonna invest in one of this you showed us right now so I’ll always have it. Plus I thoroughly enjoyed watching you. I can also have the attention span of a gnat, so you kept it funny and no unnecessary info that drags on about each item. So I’ve subscribed, coz you are cool girl!

Who knew they made these simple things to help us. I appreciate all the work you put in to keep us informed. Thanks Ny!

I didn’t know these existed. Now I need one.

You're Awesome!! Totally love your personality and enjoy watching your videos!

Just ordered the TrueSharp one from Amazon after watching this video. Thanks!

I’ve wondered if those rotary blade sharpeners would work, thanks Ny. 🙌

yay! I got a really nice rotary cutter (you probably recommended it!) as a gift, now I will have a way to keep it nicer, longer - thank you

I just didn't believe the omni grid thing would work, but now I'm going to try it! Thank you!

Thanks, I bought the omnigrid via your link. I hope you are getting affiliate compensation. I have been resharpening my rotary cutter blades by hand using 1200 grit polishing paper. This will be so much quicker and easier. Thanks for the tip.

I use my whetstone all the time! Never thought to us it for my rotary blades. THANK YOU!

I got an omni grid sharpener at a yard sale of a friend (it was her Mom's), but I haven't tried it yet ... now I'm excited that it did so well in your trials! Thanks!

Thanks Ny👍🏾 I have owned the Omnigrid for about 3 yrs now. I’m thinking about purchasing a hand crank one🤷🏾‍♀️

It never would have occurred to me to sharpen rotary blades lol thanks again for the tips 😁

I loved your video on sharpening blades. Thank you

I have found rotary cutter blades at Harbor Freight Tools. 2 blades for $1.79. They are in their rug cutting section. What a bargain! But I am going to look into a blade sharpener for all my other blades.

First time seeing your RU-vid channel. You are so cute. You remind me of my granddaughter. Thanks for info to save money on rotary blades.

This is so awesome!! Thank you❤❤ so much

Thanks! I have the Omnigrid but couldn't figure out how to use it. You rock!

This is just what I wanted thank you

Thanks so much for this info. I had a stack of used blades that were dull. I just went through your link and bought the Omnigrid sharpener.

Very cute delivery! Way to catch the attention of potential subscribers!

Thanks for doing the werk for us and showing a few different options. ❤your upbeat video! 😂

Thank you! Fun and helpful!

Great tips and humor ! I’ll go for the least accidental injury model. I can stop the skipping and get another 10 years out of my one blade

Thank you, this was very helpful!

You influenced me to buy the trusharp. I received it yesterday. Not only doesn't it work, but it ruined my blade. I sent it back. Lessoned learned.

I LOVE your videos!!!

Helpful tips as usual! Thanks so much for the doing the product tests and letting us know what does and doesn’t work!

Thank you so much for looking into this.

😍😍 you’re so good at this!!

Another helpful video! Love this!

Great review , but I didn’t like the omnigrid sharpener. It didn’t sharpen my dull blade at all and I thought that it could easily yourself if you’re not careful. I plan to order the Trucut sharpener as it’s getting good ratings on several sites. However, one thing that I learned in all my blade sharpening research and trial was that the cutting mat should be cleaned regularly especially after heavy use.

Does it matter what shape central hole you have in the blade? Does the 2nd sharpener require those little cutout shapes in the central hole, meaning a circular hole wouldn’t fit?

Love this!

Sharpening with the whetstone I think makes the most sense because your moving the cutter blade with the grain of the stone, similar to sharpening cutlery on a whetstone. The circular grinder seems off because your moving the blade of the cutter perpendicular to grain of the metal, like a floor waxer.

Ok so I got the sheet met and magnets that was an amazing tip just put a little more faith in you and purchased the sharpener..

Thanks a bunch! I have always had a whetstone ... learned how to sharpen kitchen knives from my father when I was just a kid ... but I never tried to sharpen my rotary cutter blades with it. Duh! There is definitely an art to using a whetstone effectively. I would rather go the easy route I think so I might just purchase the 3rd one.

Love the advice. I didn’t know how to use my Omni thing.

Love your video!!! I can relate to impatient and bored!! Very useful information and entertaining too!!! Thanks tons. I have subscribed.

So glad they're making tools like this! Thank you for your video. Cheaper AND BETTER for all those landfills. #righttorepair

I really enjoyed your video. You are adorable!

That Trusharp looks good. I have one of those twisty things which is ok but fiddly. I will have to see if we can get them here in UK. Thanks so much.

Super helpful video, thanks for doing the research for us! One thing though, at the 3:30 mark, the in/out of the camera isn’t good for the eyes or brain of your viewer. As a RN, this can cause a trigger for epileptics or, for me an instant headache and dizziness. Things like bright flashing lights (think fast strobe lights or a flickering light bulb that needs to be replaced) aren’t good for the brain and they’re hard to process. Again, love your videos, but might not want to use that particular effect for your viewers.

Thanks for sharing 😮

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it. 👏🏻👋🏻

I need to get me one of those Trusharp things! Ty.

Cool Beans

Thank for the tips

I bought the true cut sharpener I have no idea what I'm doing wrong it seemed to dull the blade instead of sharpening it, any suggestions what I'm doing wrong

I didn't use my rotary cutter for 1.5 years and it got dull even if I just bought and used it once. It didn't cut at all but just created a crease on the fabric. Really amazing because the cutter is of Clover 🍀, quite a good one so ²⁶⁶²4x⁵⁷

I use both a 45mm and a 60mm rotary cutter. If I buy the little handheld version, I will have to buy 2 (one for each size). I am guessing that the linear sharpener will work for any size blade. 2 handheld and 1 linear amount to about the same in price. So which would you recommend for me?

I'm pretty sure you're also supposed to wet a whetstone

Thank you!😀

Thank you!!

Thx for sharing

Have you tried the electric blade sharpener

Can use any of this , with the blades decorative rotatory from fishkars ?

thank you

Thank you!

I have the blue one, it doesn't work very well for me :(

Don’t you have any other places recommandation instead of amazon?

the long narrow blue sharpener got nothing but bad reviews on amazon

Interesting.....

What is the angle of cutting edge of rotary blade

I gave up after 3:30 seconds of this video without getting to the point of actually finding a way to sharpen Rotary Blades. This was more of a video on what doesn't work rather then what does. Onto a video that does provide how to sharpen a rotary blade.

❤❤❤❤❤ 5/5

The whet stone needs to be soaked then use it. Or it needs to be whet

Thank You Pretty and Silly Lady.

Yep ruined my scissors with aluminum foil years ago!

bummer i cannot find the sharpeners here in Belgium

I did the aluminum foil said back, but that didn't work.

Too long. Too long to get to point. Did not find worth my time to watch.

tedious video...just give the info

WhT a aunt and waste of time I learned nothing
