Does the Warrior electric rotary cutter work for cutting fabric or a lot of fabric at a time?

- In today's video we're checking out a product that I just had to try! You guys know I make a LOT of taco wallets that there's a ton of fabric that I have to cut in a short amount of time, so when I saw this hack on Instagram I just had to check it out. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised by how well this rotary cutter worked after giving it a go several times. It does take some practice, especially if cutting straight is hard for you lol but again with practice, it does really well.

I’m glad to see a lefty like me use it. It looks like it might work against the ruler if used right handed. Thanks for the demo!
Yeah, they just don't make stuff for us lol
Yes I would like to see you cut the Taco fabric. I really like watching your videos.
Thanks for the reality check. Most of these style of tools that start like scissors lifting fabric take a lot of practice to get accurate cutting. I watched as it is smaller handle size while the larger ones seem too high for me as most tables are not low enough for short people then add high handled tools and you are stuffed.
Appreciate the demonstration that shows it isn't instant success.
One video I watched today compared electic scissors to rotary cutter and indeed she weighted down one side of her fabric and scissors gave a straighter cleaner edge. Both were lower end of price range and she stuck to same cost for both to be fair. I was suprised to see scissors smoother than rotary blade but rotatry blade not circular so again practice may have given better cut with rotary one.
Good luck to all of you.
I do batch cutting for simple bags for charity and like you it is impacting on my arm, I have learned to cut left handed to give other one a rest.
It may well be the more costly ones will pay dividends in long run especially if able to use with ruler to cut down on practice time ;)
Thanks again
I'm glad it helped and now you have me wondering which one would cut easier. I might have to try out a set of electric scissors.
Cutting it while standing in front of the fabric instead of the side will give you a better line of sight for accuracy.
Have you tried using pattern weights to hold down the fabric while cutting? That should help a lot.
The fabric still lifts because of the rotary cutter itself, it has to be picked up to start and the edge thing kind of makes it lift as you're cutting. It's still a great tool.
This is very interesting. I have seen industrial garment makers (who cut many layers of fabric at one time) use very heavy weights to stabilize their cuts. I hope you follow up on this with more comments. I like the price point. :)
Follow up, I like it lol Do I use it every day? No, but I still have it charged up and ready to go when I do need it.
@@faithwerksdesigns6197 Thank you!
As well as wanting a taco wallet, I would love to see you cut some!😂
I definitely want to see you try to use that electric cutter.
Yes, I would like to see
Thanks for sharing ❤
I just ordered one from Amazon. I do not expect to cut pieces for a quilt that have to be accurately cut. Like the one I have on my fabric mat now. It must be precisely cut. However, I do process a lot of old clothing for various projects and that processing it would be great for. Especially the jeans. A lot of the cutting for some projects don't need precise cuts, just close enough. Will it replace my regular rotary cutter. Nope. Will it replace my scissors, not completely, but it will reduce my usage and ease my arthritis. I think it has its place. I was thinking of getting regular electric scissors. I think it will suit the purposes it was intended for. It will suit the majority of my cutting needs. It will also come in handy for a lot of other cutting jobs in my house. Though I just ordered a more ergonomic rotary cutter to go with it for my accurate and straight cutting needs. I have been promised a donation and we will see how well it processes it. That is if it shows up on my doorstep. Promised donations don't always show up.
That would be cool, let me know how it goes!
Testing done. The above assessment is pretty accurate and I had similar results. It does cut fabric and very straight, but you have to set things up right. On dominant side, weight the fabric with whatever you have and hold other side taught with your hand. The fabric must be taught. Not drum tight, but snug. If you wanted to cut lots of yardage, you would have to rig up a clamping system on your sewing table. It powered through jean seams and made short work of processing the usable fabric into sections. Still needed to weight one side to have a reasonable straight cut. I just placed my scissors on it and got straight cuts and clean cuts. Before I snipped and ripped and dealt with the results. Happy with it and it does what I bought it for. Just wish it could cut without the fabric having to be held taught.
I wonder if you could run it along a ruler?
I think because of the guard you can't, the one on Amazon has that ability.
I have arthritis in both hands and had surgery on one hand just over a year ago and the surgery made my hand worse not better. You did this video back in October of 2022
I was wondering since you have used the tool and probably others which one you like the best?
I struggle with the rotary hand cutters to cut my quilting fabric patterns…it’s beyond frustrating so I was hoping to get honest feedback on a electric rotary cutter.
Any response would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Honestly I haven't used it, I haven't had a bunch of one thing to cut and I have to cut out rounded shapes lol so I don't think it would do well for what I have to do so I haven't used it. There is a new rotary cutter out there that has the bent handle, I wish I could remember the name but it's supposed to be better if you have arthritis. If I find it I'll share it.
Use a weight or something to hold the material down? Seems like an elementary step
There was a weight on it but if your cutting a 2 1/2 inch strip on one side you can't weight that down. There isn't enough room for a weight.
I used electric scissors not the rotery cutter and I don't have any issues, but also weighting your fabric might help also.
It would be easier I think if I weren't making strip lol
Hi Faith! Any further follow up on this tool? I know you probably have a lot to share! :) Thank you!!!
There are so many follow up video's I need to do lol but if you want a quick answer, the answer is I don't use this tool as much as I thought I would. It's really ideal for someone who does a lot of layers all the time and I don't do that as much right now.
@@faithwerksdesigns6197 I saw on their website that this can cut 1/4" thick....and it made me wonder if I am stacking a lot of fabric.....would it be okay. So I guess when I batch cut....I will have to cross that bridge when I get there. LOL! Thanks so much Faith!
Does it feel heavy to use?
Actually it's really light 🙂
Unfortunately, like most tools, it’s made for right-handed people, you can’t see the blade while cutting.
Exactly!
Can you take the guard off? It may help.
No, I've looked at it and it's all one piece but yes, that would help a lot lol
