Hi Stephenie, if you are doing a lot of cutting at one time, such as cutting all the pieces for a quilt, the larger blade is quicker. I have used the smaller size for many years and love it. There are also ergonomic handles which save your hands from pressure. The blades will cut for quite a long time if you are careful to cut on a proper mat, and don't nick anything hard such as a pin. The manual sharpener is quite inexpensive and extends the life of your blade. Hope this helps.

Hi Janice! Thanks so much for your help. I think I will go with the smaller one. I'm just starting so I'm not sure how often I will use it. Hopefully a lot! Thanks again!
If you have trouble holding the handle of a Rotary cutter and applying just a bit of pressure then you may want electric scissors I would go to a fabric store and see if you can "test drive" each one.
I'm sorry I didn't see your last question so forgive me if I'm repeating someone's answer. I like a rotary cutter to cut fabric, they help you cut a straight line with the help of a good see thru ruler and a cutting mat and both and be found at Joann's or your local fabric or quilting shop. As with all cutting tools used to cut fabric never use them to cut paper. Paper and other non-fabric materials will quickly dull the blades! I always believe you should invest in the best tools you can buy using sales or coupons. I get long time performances from tools I buy this way for my sewing or crafting. Happy sewing and crafting!
