Which are best cutters to buy? I just want circles, squares etc - I managed to stand on one today and a couple of the bigger ones I've got haven't kept their shape very well.

Do you mean for cutting metal sheet? I wouldn't know what to advise you for that but for wire cutting Lindstrom are the best.

I am guessing Di means cookie cutters for cutting clay shapes.

I used to buy sturdy, expensive cutters from the cake decorating shops years ago. But I came to the conclusion that they seem to go out of shape just as quickly as the cheaper ones. And at least with the cheaper ones you can tease them back into shape easy.

I now tend to use Makin's cutters. They are great value. One of the reasons I decided to sell them at EJR Beads was because I liked using them so much myself.

Makins for me too. Mr. Green

I also have some of the Kemper Push cutters and they're excellent, Di. Daisy

Thanks Lou and Emma - I have got some Makin's ones but my circle is seriously out of shape! Perhaps it's time for a new set.

Di - I get my circles back into shape by putting them over a wine bottle.
If not I recommend the kemper cutters or makins.
