Check the fit

Match the blade depth to the backing thickness and check the edge on a scrap. The head geometry is intended for this cut path, while a conventional wall trimmer follows a different guide at the perimeter.

When to choose it

Choose this cutter for a seam edge where the blade needs to run close to a row of yarn. The two slots let you choose the left or right cut position. The manufacturer instructs users to extend one blade for a cut.
