It looks like it could be hazardous to you and your pattern or fabric. Like the others I prefer to see what I am cutting, I'm from the old school "if it isn't broken, don't fix it."

I have watched her use that before it was patented and I think it seems awkward and I don't like the blade being exposed when she isn't using it and putting it back in its stand seems another awkward thing to do. When I saw the price I just wasn't interested. Maybe it takes using it to feel comfortable but I just like being able to pick up my rotary cutter and exposing the blade and proceeding to cut.

She does have a video that shows how to change the blade. I've watched it and it uses the standard blade that other rotary cutters use. It can be viewed on her website.

I can see that people with arthritis could benefit from it, but they too, would have to know that no pets or grandchildren will be around when it is in sight.
