I have tried so many paper trimmers and LOVE my Tonic Guillotine. It has a 12x12 base and the blade self sharpens. I have had it for a couple of years and it still works as well as when I first bought it. I love it!!!!!!!

I have the fiskar portable one that I use most of the time because it is just so easy to pull out or take with me, and then I have a Carl rotary trimmer that I use when I have alot to cut at a time. My Carl also comes with interchangeable blades that I use for perforations, scoring, etc.

I have the new Fiskars with the wider base and I LOVE it. I also have a Cutterpede that I use too.

Cutting straight has always been a big issue for me. My CM 12" I loved, but I just could not get things lined up well. I then bought a Cutterpede trimmer and love it. The lighter surface makes it so much easier to see you have things lined up straight to make a cut.

I had an old fiskars, went threw a few of them. They sucked for me, couldnt cut straight. Then got the cutterped and loved it but the arm got broken off, so I had to get another. I would love to find a self sharping bigger one for just at home.

This is so sad
I use which ever one is handy.

I have been given cutters as gifts (MM CM Fiskers) as well as bought my own

I have my same old Fiskars 12" portable trimmer that I've had since I started scrapping. It's never failed me! A couple of years ago or so, my mom bought me a Fiskars rotary trimmer. I like it, but it's so big! There's no room for it on my scrapping table. If I'm doing a bigger job or especially for cutting things for school, I go haul it out. Otherwise it's my portable trimmer all the way!

[BeatrizS]

and i have both from fiskars. I like the smaller one because of its size but i have noticed it doesn't always cut straight. The Big one i like because it gives you a very nice and clean cut. But i hate the size of it. It takes up too much room!

I have the making memories one too & I love it except that you can't take it with you. I also have my fiskars gray trimer that I love. I'm sorry they quit making this one.

[SBcrazee]

I'm still using & loving my CM 12" & the personal trimmer from CM. Haven't changed the blades so far. Always a perfect cut. I do use an exacto knife for free hand cuts.

I use the Tonic large base guillotine trimmer and I love love love it!

I have the 12x12 Making Memories trimmer. I got it with the 40% coupon at Michael's a couple years ago. I do like how it self sharpens, but the grid markers are starting to wear off on mine. The only thing is that it is bulky, so I also have the Fiskars trimmer (green and purple one), but rarely use it.

I use the both of the CM paper trimmers and I have one of those huge fiskars rotary timmers.

[pawprints]

I use my x-acto knife and my metal ruler. I've used them for so many years it is just second nature to me. And they take up hardly any space!

That is how I started too and it is still my favorite!!!!
I have tried quite a few however I got the Tonic Guillotine about 2 years ago and I just love it! It is always sharp and it will cut through just about anything. I have even cut cardboard with it!

[writerlady]

I have with several different blades, like score, perf, wavy... and . I want the new wider based Fiskars.

[sdwhru]

I have the Uchida (something like that) that you can switch out with 5 different blades. It works pretty well......

[Heidi1154]

I use a Fiskars!

[AlwaysHappy]

I have 2 Fiskars. A smaller one I use for photos and a larger one that cuts 12 x 12 paper. I love them both. You can even get different styles of cutting blades for the big one.

[scrap-4-life]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Fiskars portable Rotary Trimmer. Can't do without it!
