5 Pack 45 mm Rotary Crochet Edge Skip Blades Comes with Storage Case Fits Olfa Fiskars Cutters-

Something I didn't even know I needed but I now know for sure I can't live without them! I didn't even know such a thing existed until now. So obviously I'm Very satisfied with these blades!After searching locally for a few days I finally found one of these blades but for that one blade lt was the same price as all 5 blades that you get! They came in a plastic storage case, which is nice because the one I found was in a blister package. so basically I'm using these blades to create nice, even, small slits in tea towels to make the crochet towel topper hangers that I can stitch directly to the towel now instead of having to use an awl, a good metal crochet hook or piercing needle, to pierce the fabric to crochet the toppers onto. I cut the towels in half (you can make two tea towels with toppers from one towel) then fold over the raw edge about 1/4" then use stitch witchery to prevent fraying and tearing of the towels and prevent the holes ripping while crocheting into them. these blades were able to cut the notches perfectly thru the folds and fused stitch witchery like butter. As you can see in my attached picture, it's close up of how neat and evenly spaced my crochet stitches are Attached directly to the towel thru the slits created by the blade. The blades created perfectly spaced little slits, doesn't tear or cause the fabric to fray...so now I can crochet directly into those little slits this blade makes and save myself so much time. I actually stopped making these cute little hanging towels because it hurt my hands ( RA) to pierce thru the towel first or use the embroidery thread mattress stitch method first, then crochet into that.. such a pain but now I'm enjoying these little projects again thanks to this blade and churning them out! Trust me, if you do any type of handiwork where you need to create perfectly spaced stitches on your fabric, you need these blades! Excellent value. Great blades. I'm still using the first one and I've done a lot of cutting and practiced before hand as well. I also just did a fleece throw to put a crochet border on.

These were a great find! I love crocheting borders onto fleece blankets and these are perfect for scoring small holes along the edge. You definitely have to use a cutting mat underneath, though. I've used it on a couple of progress so far, so I can't really attest to how long they stay sharp but I haven't had any issues yet. The blades are covered in oil when they arrive, so you have to dab off some of it but a small amount is necessary to lubricate on the rotary cutter. I'd buy these again in a heartbeat and will recommend them to anyone looking to crochet borders on fleece.

Extremely pleased with these rotary blades! I have gone all over town looking for this particular type of blades at every craft store , hancock fabric, joann fabric, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, even wal-mart didnt have them. Since I got them I have gone through all my kids blankets as well as some of my scarves to crochet trim on them all. High quality for the price. I love the fact that it is also numbered to help keep track of how many holes you are making. They fit perfectly onto my fiskars 45mm cutter. I would definitely recommend this product to my family and friends!

Overall I was satisfied with this product. They were delivered promptly and were easy to install onto my rotary cutter. The blades were coated with a little too much grease that got all over my hands and was unpleasant. I had no trouble cutting through one or two layer of fleece and they make nice, regular spaced holes with no extra fraying around each hole. Holes were spaced about a cm apart and each hole fit, at maximum, a G size (4 mm) hook.Pros: cuts well through two layers of fleece fabric, easy to install.Cons: Holes seem a bit small for the space in between them. If the maximum hook size is a G hook, it's a bit awkward crocheting a border with thick enough yarn that it doesn't scrunch the fabric in between. The blades themselves were coated in a grease that got all over my hands (but was relatively easy to wipe off).

These work well and cut evenly. I am using them to create little holes in fleece to crochet borders for Xmas and charity gifts and I was tired of using awls and templates (I'd been doing that for decades). This makes what used to be an hour long chore turn into a 10 minute breeze. Moreover, I have yet to have a problem with the holes, that is, every slit that is cut is clean and all the way through.

This is exactly what I needed for my current crocheting/blanket project. I ordered a different skip rotary cutter and it was horrible it wouldn't even work. I highly recommends this products if you're looking at doing a crochet on any blanket

arrived quickly and I've used 1 already. work great for making the holes needed to crochet in dish towels....a lot easier to use then trying to pokeholes evenly!! I've made 22 crocheted top dish towels!! More then satisfied with this GREAT product!

Worked out great. FYI, I did have to put a piece of corrugated cardboard behind the work to get the blade to fully penetrate the fabric, but that was fine for me. Before I bought this, I was using a razor blade to cut each slash.
