fabric cutter

Cloth slicing tool

A fabric cutter is a tool or machine designed to cut cloth—from handheld rotary cutters used in quilting to industrial machines that slice through multiple layers at once.

The term also refers to a person whose job is cutting fabric, especially in garment manufacturing: The fabric cutter traced the pattern pieces before making any cuts.
