Hi everyone! I have read a lot about which rotary cutters are best etc. I just bought a new one with an extra blade. The first blade became dull quite soon. Now the second one is dull too.

I am wondering if cutting mats make a difference. I never thought about it until now. Would really like to know.

Also, we have discussed sore backs. I was cutting several strips today and after a few hours my back started to kill me. I have a nice high table. It then occurred to me that when I was a beautician many, many moons ago in the 70s, we were taught to bring our hips forward and to bend one knee slightly. I started doing that and it took the strain off my back immediately. I hope this will help others. It was amazing.
