Hey ladies! It's been a few months since I've been online...
I just got a gingher rotary cutter for my birthday... and it's BEAUTIFUL!!! -the only problem is that I'm a leftie, and I can't use a right-handed cutter.
I have only been using a fiskars up to this point, and the blade will attach on both sides, but this one only attaches on one side, rendering this beautiful tool useless to me.
I don't want to bother the person who gave it to me; I'd like to go that option as a last resort; she may have purchased it online.

I called Gingher; they do sell a left-handed cutter, and said I should check with JoAnn because they are the largest distributor of the brand, to see if they could swap it out for me.

I called the 2 JoAnn stores closest to me, first to talk to a twit who was saying I could return it for store credit for the lowest selling price in the last 90 days (I don't WANT to return it! I want one that I can use!), and then couldn't even tell me if they HAD a left-handed one, so when when I asked her to please check, she said they had a fiskars cutter that you could switch the blade to the other side... ugh. Are you listening to me?! That's like someone telling you Bernina people to switch to a Walmart Singer.. kind of. :) IT'S NOT THE SAME THING!!
So I called the next store, only to find out that JoAnn's doesn't carry a left-handed cutter with any frequency, and they apparently don't do exchanges any longer.

SO, does anyone have any suggestions for me?! Love ya!
