TrueCut Cutting Bundle, 60mm My Comfort Ergo Cutter, 10 Titanium Blades, 9.5 inch Square Ruler and TrueGrips

Most cutting trouble is not one problem. The blade starts to skip, so you press harder. You press harder, so your wrist takes the load. Your wrist takes the load, so the ruler creeps, and the block leaves the mat a sixteenth short. You square it up and lose the point on the star.

Four tools, one job. This is our cutting bundle built around the 60mm ergonomic cutter, for anyone who cuts for hours at a time or whose hands complain afterward. The ruler in this one is the 9.5 inch square, the one that handles most blocks.

How the four work together

The cutter comes with a removable TrueCut® guide. It locks into the raised track that runs along both sides of the ruler, so the blade follows the edge instead of wandering off it. The TrueGrips go on the underside of the ruler and stop it from sliding under your hand halfway down a long cut. With a sharp blade you never have to lean on any of it. Prefer the rulers you already own? Take the guide off and the cutter works like any rotary cutter, and the grips stick to those rulers too.

The cutter, and why this one is different

The 60mm My Comfort Ergo Cutter is built around the Comfort Curve Grip. Instead of a straight handle that asks your wrist to bend, the curve lines up wrist, arm and shoulder so the cutting force sits directly over the blade. Less strain per cut, and on a big wheel pushed through a thick stack, that matters more than on any other size.

The 60mm is the cutter for thick stacks, batting, fleece and the long cuts where a smaller wheel starts to drag on the last layer. A bigger wheel covers more distance per turn and carries through the cut instead of stalling. The blade sits further out of the housing than on most cutters, so the edge bites through the layers instead of riding over them. There is an easy-access blade guard for when it goes back in the drawer, and the cutter sets up for right or left handed use.

One detail that has nothing to do with cutting and that people like anyway: the handle takes customizable inserts, so you can put a scrap of your favorite fabric or a photo behind the panel.

The blades, the part that wears out

The 60mm is the blade for the long cut and the thick stack: backing cut down to size, a finished quilt squared up, strips off a folded width of fabric.

Every blade is titanium coated SKS-7 tungsten steel. The coating is harder than the steel underneath and it cuts friction at the edge, so the edge holds its shape long after an uncoated blade has rounded off. That is why these blades last far longer than regular blades. It is not a slogan. It is what the coating does.

Ten in the box, because a blade only helps you on the day it is sharp. You change it the moment it starts to skip, not four days later when the delivery van arrives.

The ruler

Nine and a half inches square. Big enough to square up most popular block sizes, small enough to move around the mat without knocking everything else off it. Use it for squaring blocks, trimming half-square triangles and checking a pieced section before it goes into the quilt. The grid reads in eighth-inch increments with the quarter and three-quarter marks labeled, and marking holes let you mark the fabric through the ruler without moving it. It is injection-molded rather than standard acrylic, so the edges resist chipping through years of cutting.

The TrueGrips

Small clear rings that stick to the underside of a ruler. They hold it where you put it without marking the fabric or the mat, and they are thin and clear enough that you forget they are there: the ruler sits flat and the markings stay readable. The pack has more than one size, so there are enough left over for the rulers you already own.

The cutter and the ruler are the tools that last. The blades are the part you use up, and that is why there are ten of them.
