FiskarsLarge Squeeze Punch, In Bloom

I do English Paper Piecing as well. This is perfect for the needs of someone like me. I have punched cardstock but my favorite item to punch out is the free cards that seem to drip from any given magazine. I can get six hexies out of a single card as a rule. Sometimes bigger cards will yield more & the cost of the hexies is great! LOL I say that after just using the "cardboard" insert in some online clothing I bought. It worked well on the first piece but couldn't get thru the second piece. If it doesn't punch with minimal pressure, do not force it. You will break the punch. Now I'm on my third order for one of these. One lady in Guild with me bought my first one because she couldn't wait for me to order one for her. The second disappeared when my daughter left after her vacation at home. Maybe I'll get to keep this one! BTW: Be sure to use a regular 1/4" inch paper punch to punch a hole in the center of each hexie so you can remove it from the fabric once it's sewn in place. (You'll need a fancy expensive quilting tool called a cuticle stick to pop them out of the fabric.) I like the Crop-A-Dial punch sold here at Amazon because I can do more than one at a time. I do about 5 or 6.. I'm going with an order for the third one of those for the same reasons listed above.Also note that Accuquilt (on Amazon) makes a die that cuts fabric into hexies with a 1/4" seam allowance. They fold around these paper hexies just fine. Much less hand cutting and EVERYTHING is completely accurate. The die will fit the Go! Baby as well as the larger machines.

This device works well to cut the circles. I have bought 3 of these. The smaller 1.5 inch one seems to last longer. The XL cut through May be 300 or so circles (copy paper) and I already had to buy a second one - parts of the blade is full and doesn’t cut though xerox paper (just regular thickness) fully and rips the picture/circle. Just wish this is of better quality as u can’t sharpen the blade

The size is exactly as described! The open viewing of your circle punch makes this a versatile product. It is sturdy and sharp.

I bought this as a gift for my wife since she teaches Floral Design, but she said it broke after the first day. The punch itself is solid, heavy metal...but the handles are cheap plastic, and it didn't hold up to a single day of use. Not a good buy.

I love these Fiskars punches. Really easy to position and good for heavy duty punching in an ergonomic way.When I received the product the blades of the punch were stuck on each other and wouldn't move but I was able to file down the metal part that was causing the problem and that fixed it.

I have a disability that makes it hard to use hole punches and stamps. But I love paper crafting and want to use the decorative hole punches and stamps. The ergonomics on this “scissors-like” hole punch really works for me. It’s easy to use, requires little “muscle” to squeeze, and I get perfect little shapes every time. I will be buying more of these in different shapes.

This thing cuts like a dream! Punches those circles out with minimal effort, so it doesn't agitate my hand or wrist. I was even able to get through 3 pages of 28 lb paper, though it's harder to line things up that way.The thing that makes this punch so much better than others, in my opinion, is that you can SEE what you're punching. There's a HOLE instead of trying to line things up and guessing, you can SEE where it's going to cut. It's perfect if you're making pins!

They do work, but they feel like they are going to get stuck every single cut. The edges aren’t the smoothest either.

Me ahorra bastante tiempo y corta perfecto.

Só corta papel de gramatura a partir de 180g

Pequeña pero era Justo del tamaño que quería para realizar varios proyectos. Me encanta esta marca, muy aguantadora.

The media could not be loaded.  Admittedly I just got it but very clean cuts and super easy to use and I do have small hands (per glove size)

I only fold paper in half and find it punches 2 at a time very easily. Fun to use, super sharp and creates perfect edges. I purchased to use it for paper piecing for quilting and needed to make lots of hexagons. I think purchasing the punch is more economical than purchasing pre-punched shapes.
