Here is a new cutting blade for my rotary cutter made by Famore (pronounced like you're singing the song "that's Amore". I first heard about this blade when I happened to watch a short video about a blade that was tougher and sharper your ordinary blade (which can 'faint' pretty quickly when you're going through as many layers of fabrics, fusibles and other textiles like I do every day). This blade is made out of Tungsten Carbide gives it Rockwell hardness of 75+ (which means it not only cuts fabric cleanly for a longer time than the other market blades out there, it can also cut Leather, EVA Foam, Vinyl, Faux Fur and Composite Materials easily too!)
I had the chance to meet (remotely) Brint from Famore when as luck would have it, his company was sponsoring one of my online classes through The Original Sewing Expo. We quickly hit it off and I LOVE how passionate he is about his company, his products and about those of us using his products as well.
When I expressed my interest and excitement about his new blades he wasted no time in offering to send me one to try out!
It fit my normal cutter with no issue and it is lovely and sharp and has stayed that way as I try to cut through everything I can think of (within reason of course!) But for me, the thing I'm most inspired by, is that they have a sharpening system that allows you to send the blade back to the company when it gets dull and they will make it sharp again and return it to you! I hate creating waste...and getting rid of old cutter blades is difficult to do so safely, so this service really thrills me! Buy two blades and then just alternate them between in use and out for sharpening!
Because I'm also willing to be tester on a number of their other products, Brint and the good folks at Famore have created a discount code for my peeps to use if you want to try out any of the items that they carry (not just the ones that I'm chirping about).
Visit their site and use the coupon code LADYBUG when you check out and you'll get 15% off!
