DRITZ (OMNIGRID)(1/20/03)

The new, complete cutting program includes a 45m Rotary Cutter, 45mm Replacement Blades (single and value pack), three pair of Scissors (4", 5 1/2", 6 1/2"), 8 1/2" Bent-Handle Shears, and Thread Snips.

All of the tools have a fresh, new look with eye-catching lemon yellow handles! The soft-cushion covering on the handles helps to reduce wrist and hand strain. The yellow and green packaging reflects the colors and style identified with all Omnigrid products.

The 45mm Rotary Cutter (#2050) has finger grips that prevent slippage, and the shape of the handle helps to reduces wrist and hand strain. The 45mm Cutting Blades are made of high- quality, tungsten?carbon steel and are double-honed for maximum sharpness.

The 4" Needlecraft Scissors (#2064) has an ultra-sharp point which makes it easy to clip applique pieces when needle-turning, and to trim threads for needlecraft projects.

The Thread Snips (#2063), designed by Vicki Waller, are very sharp and fit comfortably in the palm of the hand.

The 5 1/2" and 6 1/2" Fabric Scissors (#2060, 2061) are all-purpose scissors for general trimming and are great for cuts on rag quilts.

The 8 1/2" Bent-Handle Shears (#2062) are designed for cutting out patterns for dressmaking and wearable art.

Dritz will exhibit these and other products at the HIA show in booth #6105. For more information, call 800-255-7796 or email customerservice@dritz.com.
