On this board nearly everyone was of the same opinion about wearing gloves I have cut with a rotary cutter for years and never had a serious cut a little nick or two but wouldn't feel the fabric and the fold right with gloves on so I just try to be careful. Have you thought of the difference we have with that rotary cutter, my aunt and mom quilted back a generation and knew neither the rotary cutter or sewing them on the machine I still treasure what they made but enjoy the time saver of cutting and sewing my way.
