Frequently Asked Questions
- Why use a 28mm cutter when I already have a 45mm?
- The 28mm blade has a tighter turning radius than larger blades, making it significantly easier to cut gentle curves, rounded shapes, and intricate cuts. On tasks requiring tight curves, the 28mm produces cleaner results with more control than forcing a larger blade through a turn.
- What types of quilting projects benefit most from 28mm?
- Curved-seam quilting (drunkard’s path, wedding ring patterns), cutting small fabric shapes for appliqué, trimming corners on completed blocks, and any cutting that requires more precision and maneuverability than standard strip cutting.
- Is the 28mm blade cross-compatible with other brands?
- 28mm blades have some cross-brand compatibility but are not universal. Famore blades are optimized for Famore handles. Verify compatibility before purchasing replacement blades from other brands.
- Is a 28mm cutter appropriate for beginners?
- The smaller size is actually easier to control for beginners working on curved shapes. For standard straight-line strip cutting, a 45mm remains the better choice. Having both sizes is ideal for full-range cutting capability.
- Does this require a special cutting mat?
- No — the 28mm blade works on any standard self-healing cutting mat. The smaller blade is particularly gentle on mat surfaces compared to larger blades.
