Is there some kind of cutter?

Tom

Although the cutters say they are for photos, the C-1500P will cut 3/4 and even 5/6 leathers with a little practice and a firm hand to hold the center and a sacrificial cutting surface underneath.

When I saw that remembered that my mom has a photo cutter I think I'll try. Thanks. Tom

I have the olfa cutter. It's decent, & very good for thin leathers, but it tends to creep wider as you turn it on thicker leathers, so you often don't have the beginning cut and the ending cut meeting together.

I also have and use the Olfa cutter. For the thicker leather, where it tends to creep as you spin it, I will just use it to cut the surface, then I can use my good shears to follow the cut line.

for my 2 cents I use a imbroadry hoop that you can get a like hobby lobby. Dad has like a gasket cutter from osborn or you can get some like that is a good sewing shop just have to make a exato blade fit in the cutting end. Ill try to get you some pics soon.

Hobby Lobby has a Circle Cutter for scrapbooking. Will cut thru thinner leathers, thicker leather it cuts mostly on top, you finish with shears.

While it works pretty good, I won't give it a 10, cause if you don't use enough pressure to hold it down, the circle will widen. Hobby also carries the plastic templates, different size circles.

I got some templates for about 7 bucks and tried them. Seems to work ok but you have to be careful that you dont mark the leather with the border guide.

I do alot of big circles on thick leather, and have gotten along best by scribing my circle with a divider, and then it is easier for me to follow around my line with a swivel knife cutting around half way through, then I go back and finish my cut with a hooked blade trim knife. my 2 cents
