A Fiskars Tutorial with Jennifer McGuire!

Hi Bloggers! Happy Sunday! I hope the weekend is treating you well!


Today we have a special video from Jennifer McGuire to give us some education on the New Fiskars Procision Trimmer. 

Here are some key features of this awesome new trimmer:
  • Ideal for making straight, precise cuts through multiple sheets of cardstock, chipboard and grunge board, plus more traditional crafting materials like paper and vellum
  • Dual-rail system eliminates blade wiggle for straight, precise cuts
  • Spring-action rotary bypass blade stays sharp so it never needs to be replaced
  • Built-in smudge guard keeps your crafting materials fingerprint-free while you cut
  • Grid line measurements on the top and bottom provide versatile use
  • Long-lasting work surface provides accurate measurements every time
  • Rubberized feet offer excellent stability
  • Folding design provides space-saving storage and transport
  • Lifetime warranty

It's true, every crafter needs a good paper trimmer.  In addition to introducing this new heavy duty trimmer, Jennifer also features a couple other Fiskars trimmers, so hopefully this video will help you decide which one best fits your needs!

    Thanks for the video. I LOVE that first one but probably couldnt invest that much for it. But that second one looks perfect. I have a cricut one, but have had issues with it not making accurate cuts. I think its time to trade up.

  6. Paper Therapy PonderingsFebruary 17, 2013 at 7:54 AM

    I actually did some testing on the first trimmer - I was given the heavy paper to cut - it even cut chipboard without any problems so cardstock and pattern paper would be wonderful - I have a paper trimmer graveyard - still searching for the perfect one for the big pieces of papers - may break down and buy this one.

    I have added the little one - saw Jennifer use it in the online classes - it is wonderful

    These looks like they´re great trimmers for our use here. I had a Fiskarxs trimmer many years ago, but then it broke and I couldn´t get any spareparts for it, which upsetr me a bit at the price they charge for them, but hopefully that´s been better now a days.

    Will this need replacement cutting mats, it mentions the blade but not the mats ?

    I saw Jennifer's video when she posted it last month and was instantly enamored with the Procision. It seems to have everything: accuracy, stability, safety, multi-purposes. It will take a while to save up for it, but she sold me on it. I have both a craft room and garage full of Fiskars products. You can't go wrong with them. Their customer service is top notch, as Jennifer mentioned.

    Sounds and looks like a really great trimmer - the Pro. I have never had really good luck with blades - they seem to go dull so quickly. I have had an issue with the cording on the Fiskars as my first one broke and I did not know that you could get it replaced and I ended up throwing it out. So that was disappointing to know that I could have gotten a replacement. I love that the Pro's blade is not supposed to wear out - but I am a little leary of the price.

    I have the small Fiskars, I love the now one though, never have to replace the blade? How cool is that? Thanks for the info.
