Cloth And Fabric Cutting Machines

Why Buy A Fabric Cutting Machine?

Mechanized electric fabric cutting tools will change the way your business operates. Textile companies worldwide depend on electronic and automatic fabric cutting machines to keep their production going faster. These machines are used in a wide variety of factories, including apparel, leather, canvas, upholstery, and anywhere textiles are cut and stitched for sale. Faster, easier and more precise cutting means that your pieces are cut and made in less time. Improved output time means more happy customers wearing and using your company's products and designs.

Whether you choose rotary blade type or one with a straight knife, a fabric cutting machine makes clean, precise cuts safely, and without fraying the fabric. An industrial cloth cutting machine is the best way to ensure that each piece you create is cut to your exact design and specifications.

From straight continuous cuts to curved, intricate cuts, these cutting machines will help you can cut any fabric, from the finest silks to thick woolens. You'll have a much better level of control while cutting your fabric. The added control helps reduce fabric cutting mistakes, decrease wasted fabric, and improves the safety of your shop.

A cloth spreader allows you to spread the fabric flat on the table, and cut it perfectly without wrinkling.

As one of the leading suppliers of industrial sewing equipment, we understand the needs of garment, sewing and upholstery industries for high-quality fabric cutting equipment. At GoldStarTool, we provide small scale rotary cutters along with industrial cutting machines for larger applications and factory use. Our swatch and fabric cutting machines are built to last, and ergonomically designed for easy use over long periods. They are equipped with safety features for protecting the user from the blades and other potential hazards. They include mechanisms for self-sharpening and other maintenance needs. Our custom machines are all built to last and come with a limited lifetime warranty.

Scaling up your business means cutting more fabric, faster. However, cutting more fabric every day is especially tricky with thicker fabrics like vinyl, denim, leather, upholstery, and sailcloth. Our fabric cutters are fast, efficient, and can handle multiple layers of any fabric or textile quickly and easily.

Handheld Fabric Cutting Machines

Are you cutting straight lines, or do your cuts involve curvatures or specific patterns? Home sewers, hobbyists and professionals alike will love our small, budget-priced handheld fabric cutters.

With small rotary blades for fast, precise fabric cuts, you'll spend less time cutting and more time stitching to fill your orders. They're sharp, powerful and as easy to use as a pen. Stack your fabric, plug them in, turn them on, and cut through as many as 20 layers of fabric at a time. They also cut through carpeting, leather, and other materials that scissors or shears won't work on, and a knife can damage. These small electric fabric cutters are priced under $300 but can make a big difference in your shop's everyday operations. They'll slice through all types of fabrics quickly, and cut down on your production time.

If you need something a little more powerful in a handheld, we also offer Eastman's mid-priced Chickadee. The Chickadee is smaller than the rest but offers a motor with 40% more power than similar models. The sharp, hexagonal blade cuts quickly and efficiently even around tight curves without fraying or damaging your fabric or other material. The lighter weight makes it easier on the operator and reduces fatigue.

Would a cordless electric fabric cutter work better for your shop? Ours can cut through fabric, carpet, leather, and more, up to ½ at a time. The 10-sided blade is self-sharpening and works along with a stationary carbide blade to give you quick, clean cuts anywhere you need them.

All of our handheld fabric cutting machines come with finger guards for safety. They also include an automatic grindstone to keep your blades sharp for a lot longer at the touch of a button. Auto-sharpening means less downtime for maintenance.

Circular Blade Electric Fabric Cutters

For a little more power and torque, our circular blade cutting machine models are a step up from the handheld fabric cutters. They look like the skill saws and circular saws carpenters and builders use. The motor sits atop the blade with the handle at an angle, offering cutting ease with clean cuts on nearly any type of fabric and thickness.

Instead of holding the cutter like an electric razor, these circular fabric cutters sit flat on a base plate and roll across the table with wheels underneath the plate. The plate slides under the fabric similar to a sewing machine, cleanly slicing the fabric. The result is a more controlled cut, whether straight or curved, with a larger volume of even the heaviest fabrics.

Goldstar Tool offers three models of circular blade cutters for industrial use. Choose from a 3½", 4", and 4½" blade sizes. All three are lightweight, easy to use, and priced under $500.

Our Circular Blade Cutter Models

Our 3½" model is designed to cut light and medium weight fabrics, in stacks up to ¾" thick, and uses either round or hexagonal blades. The base plate has two rollers to keep it moving on any table or surface without cutting anything but fabric.

Our 4" model is one of our most straightforward to use. It's also designed for light to medium weight fabrics and can cut through fabric stacks as much as 1½" thick. An octagonal blade coupled with carbide tipped and spring-loaded lower blade prevents the fabric from jamming the machine. Lightweight, it also has a built-in sharpening tool that will keep it running perfectly for a long time.

Our 4½" model is designed specifically for heavier-weight fabrics like canvas, tarp, leather, plastic, foam, carpet, and other non-apparel materials. The combination of semi-round, square and hexagon knives means that it will cut synthetics without fusing, and other fabrics without distortion. It's one of the most durable and most powerful cutting machines for heavier fabrics.

All three circular blade fabric cutters come with a finger safety guard. We also carry a full line of blades and replacement parts to keep your fabric cutting investment in top operating shape.

Straight Blade Industrial Fabric Cutters

Bigger freehand commercial straight knife fabric cutting machines come with 6", 8", and 10" blades, but they can cost into the thousands. Goldstar Tool offers straight blade fabric cutters for industrial use that provides the same power and functionality at a better price.

Our biggest New-Tech comes with your choice of 6", 8, or 10" blades to cut as much fabric as you need. This fabric cutting machine can cut any fabric you need, quickly and easily, from the thinnest apparel fabrics to thick items like ropes, vinyl, and other synthetics. Although it weighs in at 31 pounds, it uses the same bottom rolling plate assembly as our smaller circular bladed cutting machines with a self-sharpening function. The reverse presser foot holds the fabric in place while the blade quickly slices through it. You'll roll this cutter through stacks of fabric to your specifications.

Our 5" New-Tech fabric cutter gives you the same functionality in a smaller, easier-to-operate model at a better price than similar branded models. Weighing 20 pounds, it rolls on your table just like the larger model. It gives you the same fast cutting through a stack of fabric to ensure smooth, safe, and precise cutting for as much fabric as you need. Like the bigger fabric cutter, it utilizes the reverse presser foot to keep the fabric in place and includes the self-sharpening function.

For the straightest of cuts, our 5" straight blade end cutter is fitted with a guide rail that lets you make perfect cuts up to 96" (8 feet) in one swipe. Put your fabric over the rail, weight it on either side and slide the cutter through the fabric. You can cut as much as 4½" of fabric thickness at a time, in seconds, completely straight, as many times as you need to.

Other Fabric Cutting Tools

Your shop doesn't work with little pieces of cut fabric—you work with huge bolts and rolls every day. Managing and cutting large amounts of heavy fabric bolts can be difficult without the right tools. Fortunately, Goldstar Tools understands what you need in a large industrial sewing shop, and offers the tools to help make your entire production process quick, efficient, and give you the right cut every time.

Spreading out fabric can be time-consuming, depending on your set up and what kind of fabric you're working with. Our manual expandable cloth spreader machine can help you quickly handle bolted and rolled fabrics from 48" to 72" in width, up to 26" around. Load up your roll, pull the fabric under the bar, and walk back and forth to spread your fabric as needed. You can cut each length of fabric the way you need it or keep unrolling until the roll is spread out completely.  (The guide rail is sold separately.)

Add our exclusive semi-automatic end cutter to your cutting table along with the cloth spreader, and you can cut up to 96" of fabric quickly and efficiently to size or spec. This end cutter also includes a function for cutting and stacking. An automatic return on the machine head makes operation even faster once it's set up on your cutting table and can be operable by one person.

Our Modular Production Cutting Table is also a great addition and can expand as long as 78". (A rail for the spreading machine is optional.)

What Are Sewing Scissors Used For?

Fabric-specific scissors and shears are used for one thing: cutting fabric.

They should cut smoothly and cleanly and feel comfortable when you use them. You should always use the appropriate type of scissors and shears for your fabric if you want them to last and you want your fabric to cut cleanly.

Using your sewing scissors to cut anything but fabric is a quick way to ruin a good, and possibly expensive, pair of scissors. Keep them sheathed or otherwise properly stored when not in use and always use a different pair of scissors for paper and other non-fabric cutting applications.

Choosing the Right Scissors for Your Fabric

Different types of scissors have specific functions, such as spring-mounted thread clippers, which are perfect for opening buttonholes and snipping off thread ends in everyday sewing. Dressmaker shears are designed to cut just about any type of fabric, from fine silks and cotton to the heaviest denim and leather.  Synthetics tend to shred a little with dressmaker shears and standard fabric scissors, so serrated-edged scissors are a much better choice. These Mundial shears have cushioned handles and micro-serrated stainless steel edges that ensure clean cuts without slipping.

What to Look for In A Pair of Scissors or Shears + -

Of course, you want to look for a good quality brand. At Goldstar Tool, we carry brands like Mundial, Wescott, Wiss, and our own Goldstar brand of scissors. Scissors can be expensive, but price isn’t always a good indicator of how good they are. Just because they are pricey does not automatically make them good. Stainless steel forged blades are strong, sharp, and will last a long time. When choosing a good pair of blades, you should ask yourself… Are they comfortable? If they don’t feel right when you’re cutting, they’re not right for you. A good pair of shears should be sharp and cut cleanly through your fabric from the start to the end. Of course, with use, they may need sharpening, which should restore them to a like-new condition. However, if they don’t cut well when they’re new, sharpening really won’t help, and it may be time to invest in a better pair. When you buy new shears or scissors, ask yourself… Is it the right type for your needs? Do you need a longer set of dressmaker shears, or would a pair of offset scissors work better? Will they cut thin fabrics as well as thicker fabrics, or do you need a separate pair for heavier materials? Remember that a good pair of scissors is an investment, so put some thought into your choice and be sure to take care of them. Repeatedly buying inexpensive scissors that you throw away can add up to a costly expense. 

Types of Shears + -

Dressmaker shears are the most important scissors to have. Heavier than traditional scissors, they’re designed to cut fabrics of all types and typically do so very well. These Mundial shears are engineered for right-handed or left-handed users, and come in 6”, 7” and 8” models (including left-handed 8”.) Our Goldstar brand 8-inch forged stainless steel shears cut the entire length of the blade, all the way to the tip. If you prefer pinking shears, we have two types from the GoldStar line. Our heavy-duty shears have classic metal handles, and the other has cushioned plastic handles. For the quilter, Mundial professional quilting scissors in either 5 ½,” 8 ½, or 9 ½” offer soft grip cushioned insert handles for comfort and extended use.  Do you enjoy applique work? Our Mundial applique scissors help you make quick work of trimming around appliques, as well as evenly trimming Are buttonholes your nemesis? Our exclusive buttonhole scissors have a screw that stops you from cutting through your carefully made buttonholes. Safer than regular scissors or a scalpel, the screw limits your cutting length, so you cut exactly the length you need.

Other Cutting Products + -

Keep your scissors handy with a leather belt/hip holster, animal print belt holster or a lanyard that hangs around your neck. These will keep your shears handy and always available. Rotary cutters are a great way to do precise, fast cuts with ease. Goldstar Tool’s rotary cutters make fast work of whatever you need to cut. We also carry the replacement blades for all of our rotary cutting tools. Straight paper cutting is fast and easy with Westcott Titanium Bonded Paper Trimmer. It trims up to ten sheets of paper quickly with a completely safe, no-touch covered blade assembly.

Caring for Your Shears and Scissors

Caring for Your Shears and Scissors

Keeping Your Shears and Scissors in Tip Top Shape + -

The first thing you should NEVER do is cut anything but fabric with your scissors and shears intended for fabrics. The second is to never cut into a pin or needle since it will damage them permanently. When you’re finished using your shears, the best thing you can do is wipe the blades with a dry cloth to remove lint, threads, dust, and other small particles that can make them harder to use. Synthetic fibers can also dull the blades. Clean away the dry particles after every use. Keep your shears and scissors working smoothly with a small drop of quality sewing machine oil in the fulcrum or the pivot screw. Carefully open and close them a few times (point down) to distribute the oil, and wipe them, spreading some of the remnant oil over the blades. You want to oil your scissors and shears about once a month, more if you use them daily.  Of course, be careful not to drop them, or they could be damaged to the point of being unworkable.

Sharpening Your Shears and Scissors + -

When they just don’t cut like they used to, sharpening is a must to prevent damage to your fabrics. You may have heard that cutting through aluminum foil steel wool and/or sandpaper as a way to quickly sharpen your dulled scissors. Despite their popularity, we don’t recommend these methods. Think about it—if you shouldn’t use your sewing shears and scissors for paper and other things, or attempt to cut through a pin or needle, why would you use either of these to sharpen a blade? There are better ways to sharpen your shears at home or in your commercial shop. Need something small and efficient to keep around? These handy Scissors And Blade Sharpeners are economical, convenient, and sharpen on the fly. Our ExtremEdge V2 Knife and Shear Sharpener is a fast, easy way to sharpen non-serrated scissors and knives safely. The bottom section holds it in place for simple one-handed operation, and it’s sold for a reasonable price. If you have more than a few pairs of scissors, sending them out for sharpening can shut down operations. Our Wolff Industrial Twice as Sharp Scissor Sharpening System is an investment that will save you and your workers time and money, and keep your scissor arsenal sharp and cutting perfectly every time. Priced at under $500, you can sharpen your tools in-house whenever you need to. Plus, it comes with instructions so that anyone can learn to use it for fast on-demand sharpening.  Pinking shears, like our own soft-handled or heavy-duty shears, are best sharpened by a professional. There’s no reason to keep working with dull scissors and shears. Get one of our exclusive sharpening tools today.
