Your cart is empty.Making your own chenille has never been easier! Simple-to-use, multipurpose Chenille Cutter not only helps you easily make your own chenille fabric but can also cut multiple layers of fabric as well as paper, cardstock, fleece and more! The four feet act as a channel guide to create chenille in four widths (1/8, 1 /4, 3/8 or 1/2 inches) for a variety of looks. The ultra-sharp double-honed circular blade does not rotate as it slashes through fabric. The ratchet dial turns to expose a fresh blade edge, up to 24 edges. No scissors needed! For right- and left-handed users. Cuts up to eight layers of fabric. This package contains one cutter and CHB-1 blade. Use replacement blades CHB601. CHN-1, 1071929. Imported.

I have used this cutter on several faux chenille quilts. I have used other cutters (i.e. Clover). This one is by far my favorite. There is a little bit of a learning curve but with trial and error, and practice, it's great! The largest channel spacer is 1/2 inch, so be careful not to sew channels too wide. If your channels are sewn larger than that, you risk cutting off-center, or worse, to the seam. It's very important to keep the blade and channel guide at a 90 degree angle with the fabric and use the larger size on the cutter that will fit through the channel, hopefully quite snug. This will minimize the chances of going off track and keep it centered instead. It's best to do this on a hard surface like a table. I use the railing on my deck outside for a good height and easy to work on. My blankets are the full width of fabric (45") and 2 yards long. This easily cuts 3 layers of flannel, and I have done 4 as well (remember it's all done on the bias). If the channels are wider than 1/2 inch and you tilt the cutter, you can run the cut up to the seam which can ruin the blanket.Other reviews complain about the clogging and that they have to advance the blade. I actually use advancing the blade to release a clog of lint easily, and then I continue advancing right back to the same setting so not to waste a blade. No digging into the slot or opening to clean is needed. My only complaint would be how quickly a section of the blade dulls since the replacement blades are expensive. But with care and some arm strength, I can stretch the blade quite far and do an entire blanket on 2 or 3 blade sections. If the blades were cheaper, I probably would advance it more often. But then the rougher cutting leads to some better raveling of the chenille I find. It stretches the flannel. To that end, be sure to use STRONG thread when sewing because the use of a strip cutter like this does put a lot of stress on the seam due to the stretch on the bias. (I learned this the hard way too!). Pay attention and if a seam is compromised, sew over that section again before washing or that piece of "chenille" ridge will be released from the blanket and much harder to tack down once fluffed and frayed.I made one quilt by cutting the channels by hand and vowed I'd never make another one because of aching hands. But with this cutter, I can cut a whole twin size blanket in a couple hours.

I've read the other reviews - both before and after my purchase and I am NOT disappointed I purchased this tool! I don't know why some people are having so much trouble with it! A few things come to mind - they are not sewing or cutting on the bias - you can do either, but must do one. If you try cutting with the straight grain, there ARE going to be problems, not the first of which is not getting the true chenille affect. It will also clog up terribly and not stay "on track". I do not have a walking foot on my machine, but have made some 7-layer flannel scarves and used this tool with no issues at all, with the SAME blade position. These are 8-inch wide, 6-feet long scarves with 1/2 inch channels. I cannot sew that many layers very straight without a walking foot and I've had no troubles getting "off track" when cutting with this...and I have terrible arthritis! As long as I use the foot width on the tool that matches my channel width, I'm fine. I have very little clogging, and what does gather up (and flannel is the worst!) I just pick out quickly with the point of a seam ripper. I have NOT had to take this apart to clean it nor advance the blade.Another issue which may be happening to some people is not properly piecing their layers of fabric. If you don't sew or baste (thread or spray) them and watch for any open seams in your layers, then the tool will slip under them and mis-cut. But if you overlap them a bit, zig zag, and/or spray baste, then the cutter should continue down on top the layer you're trying to protect.I think this is easy to hold on to; I actually expected it to be much larger. I can go really fast without a break or re-aligning when cutting.There are some great videos on how to use this, and how to do faux chenille, on You Tube. I recommend users check them out.If anything changes as I make additional projects with other types of fabric, I will edit this review.Happy sewing!

I bought this item for myself as was required for an upcoming Chenille Pillow Sewing Class. Instructions were easy to follow and the chenille cutter worked perfectly making precisely cutting through all of the layers of fabric within each sewn channel on the pillow cover a “piece of cakeâ€. Very pleased with this item and would highly recommend.

I am SO glad that I ordered this cutter. This was my second chenille blanket to make. I cut the first by hand and it took me a very long time and it was so difficult on my hands. The Olfa Cutter made it so much easier and faster. It also made it much easier to ensure that I didn't cut into the base layer of fabric. I did find that the blade would clog with fibers from the flannel, as many reviewers have mentioned. I simply used a toothpick after running the cutter through each channel. Quickly cleaning the blade after each channel just took a few seconds--it was quick and easy to do it and made the cutting much smoother and easier. This product was well worth the approx. $20. I paid for it. I am hoping to make a chenille blanket for any future grand babies that are born in our family and this tool will make it so much easier. I plan to order an extra blade or so to have on hand for whenever the time comes that I need to replace the one it came with.

I took up making chenille items for the fun of it. It went well until I got to cutting through multiple layers of fabric without cutting through the bottom layer. Most seasoned seamstresses recommend the Olfa chenille cutter. I ordered one & it was promptly delivered. Happily, it has different widths of rows to be cut. The Olfa cuts the fabric as easily as cutting butter with a warm knife. I recommend this product for chenille cutting.

I was leaning towards the less expensive tools. Why did I go with this particular tool? There are 4 sizes. All 4 sizes are in 1 piece. Happy with my decision.

I am pleased I bought this cutter to make chenille. Whilst it does clog up from time to time, this can only be expected when cutting through layers of brushed cotton. I found the little brush which came with my sewing machine useful to clear fibers from the blade. I could not have managed without it.
