Y :) ou are correct,We all think we know about cutting. I have been cutting nicley ,I use the blade until I have to add pressure to cut one layer. This I thought was a good thing,Wrong, By having to lean into a cut to add pressure we sometimes put our fingers in the wrong place. I learned the hard way, sliced off the top of a finger. That quilt cost a lot of money at the emergency room.
By Taking the cutting class I learned about a saftey guide for the long rulers that keep your fingers out of he way . I also learned when to and how to change the rotary blade with out any bloody fingers.A refresher is good to remind our selves saftey first.
