good job!!! suggest u get what is know as a klutz glove made by FOons and Porter, it will save u from cutting your self oh and please dont get into the bad habit I have I leave it locked open yep u guessed it I cut my finger real good while it was laying on my cutting board (locked open) now I try to remember never never to leave it locked open.

Yours in quilting

I agree and locked open cutters can fall on the floor (or your foot!) and then you have a flat spot in the blade that won't cut. Yuck! Then it's off to Harbour Freight for new blades!
