Karla, thank you so much for the info about those shields. I just cut the side of my finger up next to my nail, it has really scared me how dangerous those blades are! I've been searching & looking everywhere & couldn't find the solution. On Soft Expressions they showed another safety called "Guidlines Finger Guard", do you know anything about those? And do you think the shields are the best? I was thinking about ordering the multi pkg. I have an AccuCutter GO, but there are still times you have to use that ruler & rotary. Thanks again.
