So, the other day, I was cutting a piece of poster board with my Making Memories paper cutter.....and it BROKE! I was devastated! My friend Rose had hers break about 2 weeks ago and has tried to contact the company for a solution, but they have not made it very easy. So what do I do.....(Crying just wasn't working!)
I pulled out my old Fiskars one and made do. I really like my Fiskars one too, but I find that I have to push too hard on the blade thing.....and when I'm doing a lot of cutting my wrist gets sore. (Yes, I'm a wimp) But at least the blade is replaceable....NOT like the Making Memories one!
Apparently the Making Memories blade is self sharpening (therefore it apparently doesn't need to be replaced ....so ideally you shouldn't have a problem! Yeah RIGHT! So NOT impressed for the price! I'm going to try to contact the company, but given Rose's experience I'm not that optimestic!
So, I was at Costco on Friday evening and you'll never guess what I found!! A paper trimmer! It was only about $34 (Canadian). It's from a company that I've never heard of (Royal) but I had to get it and at least try it out! It's NOT BAD! (Hopefully it will at least stand the test of time!)
One side has a rotary cutter with the option of a wavy cut, straight cut or perforations! The other side has a Guillotine cutter AND a corner rounder right on the cutter! No more corner rounders lost on my desk!
Here's a link....The web site seems to be charging about $10 more for it though....
There is even a spare cutting mat (just the little strip where the blade cuts) stored inside! I'm hoping this will be my lifelong paper trimmer.....is there really such a thing??
