I got a pocket potholder and put over the top of my rotary cutters. I use another one to stick in the rotary in when I'm using that particular one on a project but keep it to where I can just shove it in the pocket. I made myself get used to using it that way especially since I had a close call the other day. I'm on blood thinners and don't need that kind of fun. The pocket potholders just look like square mits.
