I've certainly been very impressed and I hope you are too. I'm a Content Creator for Tonic Studios so I use many of their products.

My main form of crafting is card making so I have tried to show you how I used the trimmer on a variety of card types but it is also able to be used on "chipboard (up to 0.05"thick) canvas, card stock & paper" (quote from the packaging)
If I have any further information as I use it I will add this below here. I'll be using the trimmer in further videos so please check back to see those too.

As soon as I saw this rotary trimmer, I knew I had to have it. When it came in the mail, my daughter said to me, "don't you have enough trimmers?" So I pulled out the new trimmer and some chipboard and trimmed off a piece easy peasy and she had to agree that maybe it was a good call to get this one. Although I do believe I'll have to give up a few of the others as I won't be using them. So thrilled to say goodbye to ragged edges.
It definitley has to be seen and used to get the real feel for it. I have tried to show the advantages but you really only know how good this is when you try it for yourself. I'm so glad you're happy with it :) Enjoy!
Great review. I love that it is compact and yet very flexible if that makes any sense at all. Have a great week.
Thanks so much, Deb. Have a lovely week x
Brilliant review. Ruth. Great idea to cut greaseproof paper too. X
Thanks very much, Anne :) x
I just love this trimmer - no problems at all - it’s light but really durable ..so glad I bought this ..
I'm glad to hear that, Lorraine. I feel exactly the same :) Enjoy!
I ordered this last week because I'd like to cut things like glitter paper, grayboard, and watercolor paper. I'd never thought about trying to do that with my regular trimmer and I'll be prepared to experiment more with mixed media and different types of papers/boards. Thanks for your demo and your thoughts on this.
Thanks very much. I hope you really love your trimmer when it arrives.
Great job my friend
Thanks very much :)
Looks a great trimmer, sounds wonderful. I’m hoping they bring it out in a left hand version as I always have to compromise by either reading numbers upside down or cutting in an unnatural way to me.
Thanks very much, Jill. You never know :)
Hello, thanks for this test and review. I like that You tested different kind of paper. The only negative thing is that it’s not taking bigger than 12 inches, sometimes the watercolor paper is bigger…😢
Thanks so much, Ann -Marie. That's a pity.
I like mine!
That's good to hear :)
I bought it and its not cutting very well it is like the blade is blunt. Am i using it wrong?
Yes, I'd say so. When you have your hand on the carriage, apply some pressure towards the bottom plate and also the metal bar. So, assuming you are using your right hand, down and also to the left at the same time. Move quickly and decisively - that definitely helps especially with textured card, paper, just as you would with a guillotine. I'm getting perfect cuts every time. I hope this helps you as it's an amazing tool.
@ruthhamilton8025 thank you 😊
@ruthhamilton8025 got it finally thank you 😊
I wish people would stop just showing cutting by measurement and start showing cutting by eyeballing - like for cut-apart papers. I can't tell how easy/hard that is with the fixed cutting arm in the way.
I've show that at the very end of the video in case it was the type of thing someone would like to see. I took the last videos from a side angle
@@ruthhamilton8025 Thanks, but that didn't help me. It would help if you would try to cut something like a cut-apart sheet or something that's not a solid color field - where the spacing of the cut is important but not based on a measurement but on the design.
@@racena2034 cut apart sheets are no different that any other sheet and there is no need to eyeball anything. Line it up to the edge of the clear plate and cut just like any other cutter. I think you are just being difficult to justify why not to purchase the trimmer. GROW UP.
@@joycegifford8826 Wow. You're sweet, aren't you!
@@racena2034 I know what you are saying. I would like to see it used on a cut apart.
I absolutely love my trimmer. The cost after exchange, shipping and customs doubled the price but it sooooo worth it.
Oooh! I'm glad you love it after all that expense! :)
I’ve got mine. Totally disappointed.. it leaves a rough edge which is no good what so ever in my albums. I need a clean cut. Waste of money :(
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. I had a couple of rough edges myself until I realised that I needed to apply gentle pressure to the carriage to get a clean cut. Now it's perfect. I hold it in towards the bar and press gently downwards. I hope this helps
I had the same I think it has a technique to it
@@hayleydoherty9557 I've explained in reply to your comment. It probably is a "technique" but I didn't even realise I was doing it, until I read your comments and then analysed it as it came naturally.
I have tried every technique I know after over 30 years of crafting and it still tears my paper so it’s going back 😢
@@spaggymoron Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that
