New trimmer


I wanted to buy a new trimmer and asked people’s advice on Facebook. I was thinking of getting a Fiskars one but several people recommended the larger Fiskars one, the Procision trimmer. I decided to go with that one and am so pleased with it. It has a self sharpening blade so need to buy new blades anymore. It is very sturdy and cuts like a dream.


I love the fact that it folds in half which makes it higher on my desk meaning it is better for my back, an added bonus. It measures in inches and centimetres whereas my previous trimmers didn’t have inches on them. When it folds out it is perfect for scrapbooking or cutting papers for cards larger than 6”.

Sounds like a really good trimmer Marianne. I like how it has self sharpening blades - I seem to spend a fortune on buying replacements for my trimmer

I have been looking to buy a new cutter too...and I think your advice couldn't come at a better time...and I think we card makers know what works best for cutting as we use them ALL the time and want one that works well. Love the idea of not having to replace the blades. Thanks for sharing Marianne!

It looks a really good one Marianne, and the fact that it is self sharping is a boon, thanks for the review, Kate x

OH! Just what I want too. My guillotine has a wide metal strip, so I can't cut narrow strips, I'll go looky at this and see if it's better. Thanks

Oh tat looks great. I have a cutterpillar that self sharpens now. I love it as I was always replacing blades. Hope all is well, Hazel xx

Thak you for the recommendation Marianne. I have a Tonic trimmer but I am beginning to find the replacement blades are getting harder and harder to source.

Just seen this, I agree with everyone else's comments it's a great tool for both cardmaking and scrapbooking. I've had mine for two years now and it is working just as well now as when I first purchased it.
