There are suction handles that fit on your ruler if you are afraid you might cut your fingers...always cut slowly and take you time. When setting the cutter down, hit it against the ruler to make sure you are on the fabric and mat and not on the ruler. Also, Fons and Porter have a safe cutter out, well safer....
