It arrives in its most compact form, with the center pin-like portion capped and slid close to the blade area. The blade also comes in its most compact form. In order to cut with the blade, you actually need to remove the blade so you can slide the blade guard out to shield the blade in the cutting position, then replace the blade. This enables you to use the blade guard when not cutting. The guard slides in or out after you have repositioned the blade, but if the blade is left in the shipping position, the guard won't move.
I had to use a separate ruler to measure the spacing from the center point to the outer radius of the blade in order to get the right circle size. I used the ruler again to find the center or my fabric square to cut it into a circle.
This cutter works best on fabrics little to no stretch in them like quilting cotton, flannel, or felt. I have to provide extra blade pressure to cut thicker fabrics like denim.
When I used the cutter on jegging fabric to make a jeans quilt from old jeans, I had to keep smoothing out and repositioning the fabric due to the stretch from the spandex content. I still got circles, but had to do some follow up trimming with scissors. The quilting cotton cut quickly and easily.
I also have the Creative Grids Savvy Circle ruler. It works best for quilting cotton, while this circle cutter is better for thicker, stretchier fabrics like Minky, denim, or fleece.
