I am interested in some Patchwork Cutters and would appreciate any opinions out there.

I was looking at the letter set and remembered reading about cake decorators having problems with the Wilton Letter Set. I was wondering if the Patchwork Cutters are easier to work with?

Do you have a favorite Patchwork Cutter? If so, please share what it is. Anything you have to say about Patchwork Cutters would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a few of the "Marion Frost" patchwork cutters and I think that they are great! I have a whole lot on order...

The ones that I have used before and i like to use all the time is the "Alphabet Set" "Gift tag" and the "Fairies" one is so cute...

Just a bit of a tip make sure use grease the cutter really well before use.

you can also buy the books that show you great ideas on how to use them

I love Patchwork cutters for their variety of designs. Their booklets (13 of them now) are also full of ideas on how to use them.

Just make sure you grease the cutters well with Crisco before pressing into the paste. It helps release the paste without distorting the design. My most used Patchwork cutter is the butterfly set. It cuts and veins the butterfly at the same time and comes in a variety of sizes. I also use their impression mats a lot.

For alphabet cutters, I prefer using the letter tappits by FMM, unless I need Old English fonts in which case I use the Patchwork ones.
