When should I use the 28mm over the 45mm rotary cutter?

Use the 28mm for curved cuts, small appliqué shapes, cutting along tight templates, and any precision cutting task where the 45mm blade creates too large a turning radius. The 28mm excels at detail work; the 45mm excels at straight production cuts.

Is the Famore 28mm good quality?

Yes — Famore is a respected rotary cutting brand known for sharp blades that maintain their edge well and ergonomic handles that reduce hand fatigue during extended cutting sessions.

Does the 28mm come with a blade installed?

Yes — the Famore 28mm handle comes with one 28mm blade installed and ready to use.

Is the 28mm appropriate for paper piecing?

Yes — the smaller diameter of the 28mm allows precise cutting along paper piecing template edges with minimal overshoot at tight corners.

Are Famore replacement blades available?

Yes — Famore 28mm replacement blades are available at Linda’s. Replace when the blade begins to skip or drag on fabric rather than cutting cleanly.

Is the Famore handle left-handed and right-handed compatible?

Check current Famore product specifications for hand-orientation options in the 28mm format.

What cutting mat is appropriate for 28mm cutting?

Any standard self-healing cutting mat works with the 28mm rotary cutter. The QS or Creative Grids mats available at Linda’s are appropriate.

Is the 28mm appropriate for cutting fabric strips?

For narrow strips under 1.5", the 28mm can be useful. For standard binding and jelly roll strips at 2.5", the 45mm is typically faster and more efficient.

How do I safely change the blade?

Follow Famore’s current blade change instructions. Rotary blades are extremely sharp — always close the blade guard before changing and use care handling the exposed blade during the exchange.

What is the blade guard mechanism on the Famore 28mm?

Famore cutters include a safety blade guard that retracts during cutting and returns when the cutting motion stops, providing automatic blade protection between cuts.
