rotary cutter
Hello Everyone,
I am looking to purchase a more ergonomic rotary cutter to purchase. I am looking at this one:
http://www.overstock.com/Crafts-Sewing/Martelli-Ergo-2000-60mm-Rotary-Cutter/6203910/product.html?cid=202290&kid=9553000357392&track=pspla&kw={keyword}&adtype=pla
Have you used this one/kind before? if so what are your pros/cons?
Do you have another preference?
If so please let me know.
Thanks so the help.

I use the 45 mm Martelli rotary cutter and love it. When I helped out at my LQS I always took my own rotary cutter because I thought it gave me more control than a regular 'stick' cutter. There is a learning curve. The first time I attempted to cut fabric I took off to the right -- I can't explain why, I just always caution people new to the rotary cutter to practice on some scrap first and try it a couple of times. We didn't learn to use our stick cutters with just one pass.

I have used the Martelli cutter for probably 8 years now. Love it. I have shoulder issues and it is easier on the shoulder and can be easily used while sitting down. I even used it while my arm was in a sling. Have had the spring break on it twice so am on second cutter but really love this one!
