Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do the four channel guide sizes work?
A: The cutter has four built-in guide widths (1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2") that ride along a stitched channel, helping you cut evenly spaced slashes between stitching lines for different chenille looks.

Q: Can I replace the blade when it gets dull?
A: Yes. The CHN-1 uses the OLFA CHB-1 Chenille Cutter Replacement Blade, which has 24 edges you can rotate through before needing a new blade.

Q: What fabrics work best for chenille?
A: Woven cottons, flannels, and similar fabrics with a soft hand work especially well. Layer several pieces, stitch channels, then use the cutter between stitching lines and wash to fluff the chenille.
