Do you have Marvy's Paper Trimming Buddy?

[cindybee]

Does anyone have the paper trimming buddy by Marvy Uchida? I would like to get something that does decorative trimming since I am not really great at using my fiskars scissors in a straight line!!

If you have it, is it a good product?

Thanks for taking the time to read and answer.
Blessings for a great day!!

Inquiring minds would like to know. I'm not good with the decorative scissors either. And using the corner rounder is a pain and you get all these little scraps flying all over the place.

I don't have this but do have several of the decorative edgers that go with the Fiskers rotary cutter and the Cutterpede as well as the edging ruler. These work great.

I have it. Here is a video review I did on it.

It's decent, I only use it for decorative edges, not for actual mass cutting. The only thing I wish was different is the scallop blade. I wish it was bigger and more defined, it hardly looks like a scallop at all.

Sometimes you just have to wait for it to download before it plays. If you have any problems email us and my dh is usually good at solving them.

I had it and ended up selling it. I didn't think it cut that well. Other people like it though.. I didn't try the decorative edges with it though only the straight...

I wondered about it . . . I've been thinking of getting the Cutterpede, myself . . . Or, the Martha Stewart hand-held Rotary Handle and the Scallop Blade. Thing is, that darn blade is never in stock, no matter what Michael's I pop into looking for it . . . :(

I have the cutterpede and like that much better over the marvy trimming buddy.. It seems to cut much better, I've not used deco blades with it though only straight....

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR INPUT!! My husband bought a magnetic xacto (without consulting his crafty wife who has a cutter) to cut some pics from his trips to the Middle East and Poland . It has changeable blades so I ordered some blades for only 4.97. They will probably work fine. Now, I am glad he purchased this cutter so I do not feel guilty having a second one with interchangeable blades. Yiipee!!
