I cut more accurately toward me, but I cut away for above mentioned reasons. I have bleeding tendencies and the dogs can't dial 911, so I try to be reasonable. I do occasionally cut away from the ruler at the far end of the cut. That's why I'm lookiing into folding a second time and/or purchasing a ruler with slots.

when i first started i cut towards me. then when it was brought to my attention the dangers, i changed to away from me. it took a while to get used to it, but it is much safer and the ruler is easier to keep straight that way.

Away--there is no way in the world that I would cut toward my body. I really don't like emergency rooms and stitches...LOL
