In the UK, you can get the Cutterpillar on Create & Craft TV or on Amazon.
Here's the link to my Amazon favourites list, where you'll see both the Pro and Crop, as well as my other crafting recommendations.
www.amazon.co.uk/shop/sharonc...
I update that page regularly so if you like to shop on Amazon, it's worth bookmarking.
In the US you can buy directly from Cutterpillar
www.cutterpillar.com/cutterpi...
There's also a list on their website of stores in Canada that stock it. For Australia they don't have any listed, but when I googled it some came up, so I'd say if you're not in the UK or US, check Amazon or google to see if it's available without needing to pay a lot of shipping.

Thank you for your honest review of this amazing product! I have one on order from my local craft store here in New Zealand. I laughed when you said what you hated about it, and said "I bet it's the colour of it!" I am also not a fan of the frog green color, but at least I will be able to easily see it on my desk! I love the idea that I can cut 12 x 12 card/paper easily with it. At the moment I have a smaller guillotine which is fine, but I can't cut the 12x12 size with it, which is frustrating. I also love that the Cutterpillar is self sharpening. I also love the idea of the light, especially for those cold dark days of Winter that are heading my way! I am SO looking forward to mine arriving! Thank you so much for the fabulous and honest review of this awesome cutter! I make cards mostly, but also journals, and sometimes want to use thicker card stock, but my guillotine will not cut it properly. The Cutterpillar will make my crafting life a lot easier! Apologies for my excited ramblings! Many thanks - stay well and happy crafting! xx

I love mine too Sharon! I have a metal one which I had to wait 8 months for but am so glad I did. It’s still going strong! I’m glad you said you cut matboard with it- I use my guillotine cutter for that but will have to give it a try! Thanks for that tip ❤️😍👏

So glad I saw this video. I did not know the blade had a lifetime warranty. Also love the tip with the paint. I don't mind the green, at least it isn't tonic orange lol. I'm a purple person so of course I'd love one in purple. I don't own one yet, but have had my eye on the crop for several years. Just saw Tim Holtz had come out with a rotary but the crop is cheaper, & seems to beat his by a mile. I have no use for the drawer & I love the crops arm goes to 17". Good to know it's very sturdy. Love the light. No idea why I haven't bought this yet. Probably need to sell some of the million or so paper cutters I own that I don't like as much & just get this one lol I do love one big guillotine I have that I think is tonic. I bought it when stampin up had it branded, but I think Tim Holtz has it branded now. The arm stores underneath & slots into the side. Is there anything you would ever find yourself wishing for a guillotine for with the Cutterpillar? I can't think of anything, but thought I'd ask before I add it to the destash pile with the others

Thank you Sharon. Totally agree with you. Love the trimmer, but hate the colour. White or a pale grey or even a pale blue would be so much more pleasing. Thank you for the tip regarding the rule, highlighting the numbers in white is a fabulous idea. I’ll have to do that on mine. Looking forward to your next video❤️

I have one too and I love the color!

I love my cutterpiller, I have the crop as I don't have the space for the larger one. Thank you for the tip with the paint, I will do that. Like you I hate the colour, I thought about spray painting it at one time but didn't want to risk damaging it. X

Cutterpillar has a tutorial on their website on painting the ruler and is designed that way to give users the option of choosing their own color options. I prefer white is easier to read but some might prefer black. Thanks for info.

I agree with everything you have said. Love the trimmer but not the colour. Guess it is their “signature” colour but would love it to be white with a little discreet green logo lol.

In you video you mentioned workshops where can I find any information about them I have just received the caterpillar pro not used it yet going to have a go with it over the weekend

I bought the Pro when they were launched on C&C, I agree I hate the colour too. For me I am a fan of Crafter’s Companion purple. But a white, pink, baby blue or pale grey would have been preferable. I have similar colour aversion to Tonic orange. I enjoy using it for cutting card stock but have serious issues if I need to cut a thin strip of something like an insert, it tends to bend or tear at a bad angle. I have to use craft knife and ruler or my old Fiskars on thin papers. My big regret is getting the Pro instead of the crop as I have limited space so have to store it on it’s side propped up against my desk.

Hi there how do you measure and cut 1/4 “

@gillianpowers9428 Жыл бұрын

I wanted one of these for a while. I found one on a destash. I was told it was new but the blade doesn't cut well. I tried to get help to resolve this but it still doesn't cut. Is there anything you can advice me as to help sharpen the blade? Yours looks so sharp. Thanks x

@sharoncurtis Жыл бұрын

All I ever do with mine is run it up and down a couple of times without card, just so the rotary blade can sharpen on the the metal bar. I've been using mine constantly for 7 years without any issue at all. You can always contact Cutterpillar for advice as the blades do have a lifetime guarantee.

@gillianpowers9428 Жыл бұрын

I will keep trying that thank you. I have contacted them and they were the ones who told me to return it to the retailer for help with the blade. As I don't know where that is, I cannot. I did watch quite a few videos too lol. X
