Cutting creates a misery for me as well. I have a darling friend who bought me a pair of scissors that you squeeze together instead of pull the blades apart. I love it. She said she got them at JoAnn's. I don't mind cutting small stuff, but I hate strips. Always need strips and hate to cut them. I have such a small area inwhich to work that I'm crowded for laying things out on a large table. But, I'm trying.
Blessings,
Ruth
