I know how you feel but at some point I think it happens to all of us. It's like my mind wanders when I'm cutting and zip their goes a bad cut. I hate to cut sometimes but then I just figure well lets get going if it happens it just does. The more you cut the more confidence you will get. Good Luck thinking of you cutting and smiling about why was I so scared to cut. Make that first cut you'll be so happy you did. I know I always feel good when I did it right. Sue
