New in - rotary blade sharpeners and Olfa chenille cutter!

Have you ever bought a brand new blade for your rotary cutter then dropped it the same day you put it on the cutter? This is one of my pet hates, as it always seems to happen and then cutting is made a nightmare by the little dull spots on the blade! With our new rotary cutting blade sharpeners you can get rid of dull spots and burrs easily, as well as prolonging the life of the blade - just rotate the blade in the tool, first on the rough side then the smooth side, and a razor sharp edge is soon restored. Having tried this yesterday, I can confirm it works, although as noted on the packet, the first time you sharpen a blade takes a bit more time and effort than the subsequent sharpenings.
We have 28mm rotary blade sharpeners and 45mm rotary blade sharpeners in stock now, and they are sure to be a good investment if you do a lot of rotary cutting!

Also brand new to the website is the Olfa chenille cutter, as well as the chenille cutter spare blades. Use the Olfa chenille cutter to make your own chenille quilts, cutting multiple layers of fabric, felt fleece and more! The cutter has 4 different guide sizes for precise cutting from narrow to wide width, and the special disc blade provides 24 new sharp cutting edges. It is suitable for left or right handed use, and comes with a handy carrying and storage case and full instructions.

Moda Me & My Sister Favourites range now in!

Brand new from Moda, we have the Me & My Sister Favourites range of patchwork fabric prints - Me & My Sister Designs have produced some gorgeous ranges over the years, and the most request prints from these ranges always tend to be the basics, in stunning bright colours and useful prints such as tone on tones, spirals, dots and flowers. To cater for everyone who loves these fabrics, Me & My Sister have brought out a new range consisting entirely of the most popular prints from these other ranges, the Favourites collection. We have 20 prints from the collection, in bright yellows, blues, turquoise, greens, purples and pinks, and they are also available as a fun 5 inch charm pack.

Also today, we have expanded our range of Makower Spraytime fabrics - these are lovely tonal fabrics with a mottled print, and we have added to the collection with two new oranges and two reds - perfect as background fabrics where a plain is that little bit too flat.
