The right application<br />

the best crystals - don’t settle for less in your tool. It provides a no-glue, no-tweezers, no messsolution<br />
to crystallizing. It is recommended by Swarovski® and used by professionals throughout<br />
the world. The BeJeweler® is design patented and is ergonomically designed featuring a soft,<br />

SWAROVSKI® ELEMENTS hotfix crystals have a heat sensitive backing. The BeJeweler® picks<br />

exactly where you want it, providing the best possible adhesion. When applied correctly fabrics<br />
and washable items can be gently laundered without losing crystals.<br />

Sharp practice<br />
The revolutionary Rotary Blade<br />
Sharpener from TRUECUT ensures<br />
that patchworkers, quilters, and<br />
general crafters have a razor-sharp<br />
“new” blade to cut with every time<br />
they use a rotary cutter. Frayed and<br />
ragged edges will be no more!<br />
All brands and sizes of rotary<br />
cutters and cutter blades can be<br />
sharpened, and the Sharpener itself<br />
is completely safe and secure to<br />
use: there is no need to remove<br />
the blade from the cutter, and non-slip feet prevent the Sharpener from moving when pressure is<br />
applied. A simple forward/backward movement along the Sharpener’s hard-wearing stone – just<br />
the same as cutting through fabric or paper – sharpens the blade to produce an exceptionally<br />
sharp edge which allows even the oldest blades to cut again like new.<br />
The Rotary Blade Sharpener prolongs a blade’s life dramatically, and greatly reduces the need<br />
for blades to be replaced on every make of rotary cutter. A very simple concept, but completely<br />
effective, the Sharpener makes cutting with this most essential of tools easier and<br />
safer for everyone.<br />
