Hey friends - if you love this rotary cutter (or it's blades) - you can pick these up directly from Martelli Notions via THIS link: www.martellinotions.com/?Affiliate=sewbecca
Thank you! I bought thru your link instead of Amazon. It was only $4 more but I signed up for their rewards programs. Amazing rulers too!
Gratitude! Be blessed! 💐🕊
I have to say... with all the sewing videos out there yours is one of the most real. Some of them are either so boring and all they do is talk talk talk talk talk about nothing or there's music playing in the background. Nothing drives me crazy more then that. I'm really happy that I found your videos. I'm really enjoying them. I don't understand with all the years I've been watching videos why I just found you. Hopefully more people start following you. It's well worth their while.
Awww, thank you!!!
Thanks! This is the best description I’ve seen on how to use the cutter. I just got mine and was unsure about how it worked
Thank You. This is the best video I've seen on these cutters. Def better than the Martelli website
Thanks for showing me how to change the blade without resorting to pliers. I think it would be great to show how to reinsert the spring. I have learned how since I end up having to do that now and then when I change the blade despite my best efforts. I do love this rotary cutter, it's saves my wrist a lot of pain.
Becca!!!, you teach me so much!!! I truly appreciate what you do. I had no idea I could remove the plastic barrier so I can get out all the lint underneath.!!!!!!!! I thought I understood but you seem to always teach me something else. You're awesome. Thank you .
Happy to help!
This rotary cutter is my favorite. I have both sizes. It works great with all rulers, and particularly my Stripology. It truly reduces wrist/hand fatigue. (And it is hard to get used to the screw being threaded counterclockwise.) I also use non-Martelli blades with no problems. I put my rotary cutters in a tray to stay save and reduce repetitive movements to close blade and keep me safe. I use my needle nose pliers to change the blade.
I absolutely LOVE mine!
Great demo, Becca! Thank you!
Becca, thank you so much for this informative video. I bought a very cutter from my Quilting store and they didn’t give me much information. The owner of the shop doesn’t use this product but one of her assistants does but wasn’t in. I paid a lot of money for it but since I’m left-handed and getting older, I thought it’s best to be more ergonomically correct. I didn’t know how to clean it so thanks to you I know I can take my Martinelli Qatar apart and do just that. Thank you thank you thank you thumbs up.
Thank you fo this demo, I’ve had a Martello for a long term and never could use it correctly. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and am thankful I can start using it.😊
Glad it was helpful!
Ohhhh man... I've got the left-handed one of these since I'm a lefty. I've LOVED it for years; however, I've had trouble with it for the last few months and couldn't figure out what the prob was. I'd change blades every couple of days and that didn't help... BUT YOU'RE AMAZING VIDEO has shown me why!!!! I didn't know it came apart to be able to clean it.... LOL!!!! Thank you so much for making this video!!!! Life saver!!!
From now on when people ask about mine on my videos, I am so totally linking them to this video!!! Great Job and review Becca 💕
Thanks, Tiff!!
Becca, thank you for this video. I have really bad pain in my neck and upper back, anddoing anything is a problem. I will NOT stop sewing, so I am looking for solutions. I will invest in this cutter because it looks like it will be better for me. I have subscribed!
Martelli Ergonomic Rotary Cutter arrived today, and WOW! No more aching wrist, and my arthritis is loving this. No hard downward press necessary, can cut for hours now, instead of minutes. I wish I had bought this long, long ago.
YES! This is *EXACTLY* why I love mine! I have carpel tunnel, and twisting my wrist isn't comfortable!!
I have 5 of these. I have bought them from the Martelli website for half price when they offer that sale. They are awesome
Smart move!!!
I bought mine over 20 years ago at a quilt show in Worcester, Ma. It was the only product Mr. Martelli was selling at the time. They have come a long way. Three years ago I broke the spring while changing the blade. Called the company and had a choice of them sending me a new spring or returning my cutter and for nominal fee they would send me the newest model, lol, they no longer made my original model. I love it and would never be without it. I originally purchased it because I have to sew, cut and iron while sitting and it is almost impossible to cut with any comfort with the other cutters while sitting. Mr. Martelli took a long time demonstrating and letting me try it, I was in my wheelchair and it worked! He was great and it is still a great company. One of these days I’d like to get the 60 mm one also. Thanks for a very informative tutorial. Ps love their blades also, they last longer than any others I have used.
It's honestly the *only* cutter I use now - I absolutely love it! My wrist never gets tired, and I can cut in any position - sitting or standing!
Hey friends! Want to grab one of these rotary cutters? I've got a few options for you (note: none of these are affiliate links!):

I have all of the rotary cutters and love them. I got to visit the Martelli Store on my birthday!!!!
Thanks! Becky I do have two the 45” & 60” right handed one love them both. Have had the 45” for years got the 60” about 2 years ago. You did a great job on this video. Enjoy your videos please keep them coming.
Thanks for watching, Mary!!
I need to try one of these, i just dislocated my shoulder and its going to be a long recovery. So the less pressure the better for me.
PLEASE do get one of these! It's life changing!
Thanks for the demo. As soon as you showed it I went and picked up my cutter and I see what you're saying about the wrist. I've had carpel tunnel surgery and I feel the strain of using my current cutter. I'm so excited for my new cutter.
I'm excited for you, too!
I am a lefty. Like most lefties I was shown how to do most things by right handed people, so I use scissors with my right hand. After watching your live session this past weekend, I started researching these rotary cutters. Subsequently I found this video, but also other videos that showed the left handed cutter. I decided to get it to try it out…what.a.game changer!
I will probably never feel comfortable with left handed scissors, but I don’t think I will ever go back to cutting fabric with my right hand.
I'm so happy you like it! I LOVE this rotary cutter!!
I just started using my Martelli Rotary Cutter and I absolutely love it. I cut for over three hours and I don't have fatigue.
I absolutely LOVE my cutter!!
Thank you for demonstrating how to change the blades. Love my Martelli rotary cutter but always dread change the blades.
Hopefully this will make it a little easier?
Hey Becca!!! I have the same one!!! Love it!!! So amazing!!!
It's the one notion I will NEVER leave behind!
I won’t leave it behind either!!! It’s so much better than my Olfa rotary cutter
Which is saying a LOT because I loved the Olfa...until I got this!
@@sewbecca same!!!!
Okay. You convinced me. I went to your Etsy Shoppe to buy one and bought a few other things as well! I’ll let you know how I like it once I get to use it!
Thanks for your support! I’ll get the order out in the mail tomorrow!!
I have both the right AND left handed cutters. LOVE them. Had them for years. Started with the original left handed cutter recommended by my local quilt shop back in maybe 2009. Glad they came out with the broader handle, so much more comfortable. I recommend this to all. I don’t quilt, I use for apparel sewing
Love your T-shirt
Thank you! I got it at a women’s retreat I went on right before Covid!
I just bought one!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! I took your advice a couple weeks ago!! I did get their blades as well! That’s for the recommendation Becca!!
Enjoy! This is one notion that I will absolutely say is LIFE CHANGING!
Love Martelli cutter.
Rule#1 Use ONLY their blades. Warning: Or you will have miss cuts. Their blades have round holes only. Not like other brands that have notches.
Agree best tool in my sewing room is the Martelli cutter and I also love their cutting mats. Thick and durable with great marking lines that dont fade away.
The marking lines on the cutting mat don't fade, but I do still get gouges in them just like I would other mats. :( I wish there was a self healing mat that could literally take thousands of cuts in the same position and show no wear! LOL
THANK YOU!!! I’ve been curious as to these as I’ve never been able to master the typical cutter - always wasting fabric and using pressure, destroying Matt sooner than later…
Also, you speak clearly (despite stuffy nose) and not too fast nor too slow - great for a deaf person!
And great close ups as well as your happy face .
Gratitude 💐
Glad it was helpful! The stuffy nose seems to be a perpetual condition I struggle with, LOL!
@@sewbecca Aww! I had the same for years. I tried a NeilMed nasal rinse until it went away (2 weeks) and haven’t had it since! Over 10 years. Worth a try.
And I’ll continue to pray for you. Oxygen is so good LOL
Have a beautiful year. God watch over and bless the work of your hands, all that you put your hands to, and those you love.
< 🕊💐
I use one of those gum cups ( I think they’re Ice Cubes gum) with a lid for my sharps container. Great, informative video
Great idea! Thanks for watching!
great tutorial.... Love your hair like that
Thank you so much 🤗
I have a Martelli rotary cutter and I Love it!!
It is comfortable to hold no fatigue. I rarely use the 5 other rotary cutters I have.
I bought mine several months ago. I am so HAPPY With mine.
Same! My poor other rotary cutters don't really get much use anymore
Just got mine. Love it. Even had on sale on Amazon😊
I have NO clue how they're selling then for $12 on Amazon - but if you can grab one for that price, HIGHLY recommend doing so!
@@sewbecca I couldnt not get one at that price.
@@jimbennett374 i followed Sew Becca's link on Amazon and am able to get it for $12.25
Just bought my first one at the local quilt show this weekend. This was a great tutorial. Thanks. It is a game changer for sure
Thank you was looking for info on this style rotary cutter. I not only found the info I wanted but found a new channel to subscribe to. Thanks again and have a nice day.
Glad I could help!
Just bought one about 15 min ago! Thanks for making this video.
Hope you enjoy it!
I have one and love it. Wish I had waited another 30 minutes to change my blade for the first. But now I know how to do it without breaking another piece of my clover part. Thanks 😊
Oof!!! Well, now ya know for next time!!
It's a great cutter. I use it with my Martelli templates.
I should pull out my templates :)
Okay, I think I'm ready to finally try mine out for the first time!!! Wish me luck!! LOL!!
You can do it!
@@sewbecca 😛🐼
I have one and haven’t gotten used to using it. I may try again, thanks.
You should!!!
Oh yes, love these! I first bought one for $15 years ago at the Sewing Expo in Minneapolis when the Martellis were doing demos.
Used it to death, and it fell apart a couple of years ago. Bought a new one on Amazon for less than $15 plus free shipping!
Awesome!
I have had one for a long time and I love it!
I love it, too!
Yaassss! I love this rotary cutter. I've had mine since I met the Martelli reps at the Houston quilt show in 2005!
YASSS!!! Martelli. All. The. Way!
wow, i am so glad i watched this. i had my right shoulder replaced in the fall of 2020. once i was out of physical therapy and able to do most things, i went to cut some fabric and to my horror, i struggled to use a rotary cutter to make some squares for patchwork pillows. i almost cried as i failed to cut the fabric. my arm strength just could not press down well enough to get a clean cut. i ended up using scissors of all things. : ) grrrr. i am going to get one of these cutters and hope it will work for me. as far as other items i would like to learn about irons and wool pad ironing mats. i need to replace my iron and need a new pressing station. the middle of my current ironing board is so warped it is almost pointless. thanks for all the info on your show.
I’ll add those items to my list, Deanna!
I have one too and just love it. I have had CTS in my right wrist and this cutter does not irritate it. Yeah!
That's awesome!
Yes, I am planning to buy one.
I'm a lefty and I have the small and large blades and I really like them. I used the other types and got way too used to cutting right-handed. But if I remember to lay out the fabric correctly, I'm using the Martelli blades. I, too, use them sitting down - especially at the ironing board making crumb and string quilts.
Glad these work for you! You're left handed and forced yourself to cut right handed?!
I have one but always reluctant to change the blade, this is so straight forward! Thank you 😊, going to clean and change it now 👍
Good luck!!
I've had mine for a few months now and I absolutely love it!!!!
Best notion ever!
I saw this for the first time in one of your posts. You had me sold and I love it
I’m so glad!!
Just discover your channel and have subscribed.
I love the Martelli cutter. It's the best on the market.
Thanks for the great video.
Thank you for the informative video on how to change the blades. Thank you Becca.
You are so welcome! :)
I bought one! Love it and I’m left-handed!
Was watching you and cleaned my 2 left handed cutters. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Mrs. Becca YOU ARE AMAZING! I just love your video's and can't Thank you enough!
Aww, thanks so much Angie!!
I bought it and I won’t go back to the other. Love, love love it
Just found out about the little guy. Now it’s ordered
I have one ... Thanks for showing me how to change the blade. Now I can go back to cutting. Have a great day.
Glad I could help
Many thanks. I love your videos. Tiff’s too. I have had one of these for a long time but it just seems harder to load and clean. Maybe Tiff and you can patent an easier one and sell it to Martelli.
Great review and so great to see you showing and changing blade
Thanks!
Thank you for the timely video. I just got one 3 days ago and your demo is very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Great video I just purchased one on Amazon, I'm a lefty and have carpal tunnel so I want to give this a try
I just purchased one and haven’t really got to use it much getting packed to head back to Illinois for the summer.. I’m so excited to try it out..
Spend a bit of time just cutting fabric with the new cutter and it'll become second nature in no time. :)
Love my Martelli rotary cutter! ❤🐢 It was the first thing I ordered from you. ❤🐢
I’m glad you’re happy with it!!! Thanks for buying it from me!
Great demo, now I feel confident that I can change my cutters blade, ( I love mine, too) thanks so much 👏
You can do it!
Thank You for this review and demo of the Martelli rotary cutter, I am a fairly new subscriber and have made a few visits when I caught You on lives and was very interested in this cutter but thought it was a pretty big investment for another rotary cutter as I have several different brands but when You mentioned tonight that it might only be around $12.00 on Amazon, I jumped to look and sure enough, one jumped into my cart and was ordered for a little less than $13.00 incl. tax and prime free shipping. I should have it tomorrow and so I am going to test it out before your Live tomorrow and let You know what I think. Thank You again and TY for the Sew Yeah tour, i watched it earlier but wasn't able to leave a comment as I was a bit busy then. It was an awesome spacious and full of so many goodies, the fabrics and everything looked great. Can't wait to see Your Haul!!scratch my review for tomorrow, didn’t realize how late or early morning that it is, I will not have until Saturday!
Hey Marie - I'm hearing the ones on Amazon are pirated versions and may not be as good of quality as the actually Martelli ones. If yours doesn't seem to cut well, try changing the blade right away.
@@sewbecca Oh Thank You for Sharing that, I will definitely be inspecting it fully and if necessary it was prime so I could always send it back if I’m not satisfied! Thank You!
Marie, I bought the one from Amazon, I couldn’t figure out what the hype was all about, now I know that it must be a knock off it didn’t have Martelli blade and I had to press hard to have a good cut after changing blade. By the time I saw this it was to late to return. When I took it apart like Becca showed on this video I found it didn’t have the little round slotted piece either. I hope you get a better one, I did complain to Amazon and they did say they were going to check it out.
@@tweetybird53046 Thank You for Sharing this with Me, mine should be here tomorrow so I will definitely check it right away and I will send it back right away if it’s not the real deal! Much appreciated!
Thanks, I have been researching tools to up date 40 yr old sewing station. I will buy a Martelli cutter now that you have explained blade change & given recommendations. P. S. Try a Tree Cut Linear sharpener by Grace Mfg. It should lengthen your blade life. (My daughter-in-law has one & swears by it.)
Thanks for the tip - I'll check it out!
Should say True Cut not tree. Hope it works for you.
I never knew these existed. Thank you for letting us know about this.
You're welcome!
I just got one and I haven’t tried it yet. But after this demonstration I am going to try it out.
You won't regret it - just be patient with the learning curve!
Interesting review. Your hair looks lovely today.
Thank you so much 🙂
Yeah I just got mine on Amazon last week it does take adjustment but I do like it
Definitely does - the longer you've been cutting with other cutters, the more time you'll need to adjust. But, once you get over that learning curve - you'll be so happy you switched!
Bought one 6 months ago, and l love it!!
It’s amazing! Definitely a game changer!!
I just purchased a 28 Martelli rotary cutter, and have to say it is powerful. On the first cutting it sliced right through my Olfa mat. Now I have to buy another large size mat, and I am not sure I want to risk the Martelli cutter again on a new mat.
oh, wow!! I've not had that problem - I've used my Martelli cutter on a variety of mats - but my go-to right now is the Martelli mat. :)
Hello from North Carolina. Really wanted to see this.
I have one and I love it. They are the best.
Totally agree :)
I bought one from
Your shop and I love it!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video...thanks! My arthritis is playing up and I think it's time for me to make the switch!
I love this rotary cutter - can't recommend it enough!
I agree with you. Martelli cutters are the best.
Love my Martelli cutter! I have the left handed one!!
Best rotary cutter EVER!
Have seen these before - I thought they were weird looking and a little scary. Thanks for this informational video. I ma have to check one out. My current cutter of choice is a 60mm olfa.
Don't let them scare you - they're quite easy to use. :) May take some adjusting though, but worth it!
Great cutter and I love your hair! ❤
Ty Donna! 🥰🥰
That sounds great, and it looks easy to change blades.
Once you know how to do it, it's pretty easy
Thank you for showing how to change the blades on this rotary cutter. Instructions did not come with the product.
Great video! Thank you!
You are welcome!
I bought one and I love it also!
I keep veering off to the right. I need some practice. Thanks for the in-depth look.
Now that I’m used to this rotary cutter, when I use others - I have the same problem.
Thank you for the video! Very helpful 😎
Glad it was helpful!
I would get one if I hadn’t just spent an obscene amount on a Tula pink rotary cutter!!!
I bought the same rotary cutter - used it a couple times and gave it as a gift. I’m back with my martelli LOL
They make 28mm also.
I have thought about getting one but I am very ambidextrous and cut with both hands. Thank you
do you just use the Olfa Wand rotary cutter so you can use it in both hands?
I do a lot of work with fleece! A lot! Wondering how many layers it goes through. But i would definitely invest in one. I use the Fiskars, which is Ooookay. But glad i saw your vid. TFS!!! 😊
If you work with fleece, I'd recommend the 60mm. It'll give you more room on the blade to go through fluffier fabrics - and you should be able to get through a couple of layers.
@@sewbecca awesome!!! Thanks! Will look into it. You sell that one in your shop?
Yes ma’am!
I absolutely love mine!!
It's the best cutter on the market, in my opinion!
I have three. Love them.
best rotary cutter ever!
I Have the Martelli cutter, love it.
Best rotary cutter ever!
I've had mine for awhile and love it! Thanks for posting this video. I got it apart but had a hard time getting it back together again. Will I be able to use the olfa rotary blades on this?
Honestly, I've not tried - but I've heard a few folks say they can. :)
@@sewbecca Thank you for replying.
I dispose of my rotary blades, old needles, ruined pins in an empty Pringles canister. When full, I tape the lid on and discard. Unfortunately, I no longer eat Pringles chips so will need to get the hubby to polish off a can once I need an empty one. :-)
Great tip! I'm still filling up my empty jar that holds my old sharps (blades, needles, etc). :)
Hi Becca! I have the left handed version of this cutter. I am having trouble with the blade wobbling even though I have tightened down the screw. Do you have any idea why?
I have one for my left hand but got to get use to it because it diffrent
It's quite different - and if you've been sewing for a while, it can take a little getting used to. Put the time in, I promise you - you won't regret it.
Thank you for the review. I have very bad RA in my hands and have been looking at this cutter.
I would love a review on hand held scissors ie are Kai scissors worth the price and which size works best for your quilting work.
Noted!
