I use rotary cutters for long straight cuts and scissors for cutting shapes and trimming.

Rotary cutter for me too. I use my small scissors for cutting the threads when I assembly line sew blocks.
Big scissors barely get used... unless someone else in the house can't find the house scissors. Then I have a fit if they're missing. Grrrrrr...

I watched a video of a guy using the Go Baby and it looked like quit a job hand cranking the material thru there. Of course when he got done he has some nice looking pieces but I thot it looked like the machine wanted to move some when he was cranking it.
