I was one of those emergency room casualties. I still sometimes cringe when I pick my rotary cutter up but wouldn't give it up. I like to think it has made be more respectful of a great but dangerous tool.

I have a fear more of running out of my scraps to use the rotary cutter on.. I think its patience, and practice that provides ease into using the tool.. You can do it, you can do it.. I think I can, I think I can... oh oh, been around my 3 year old grandson to much this weekend, hehe.. :-D
