I TOO would NOT let him cut with a rotary cutter. He is probably OK with the sewing machine. There was a search on QB recently for a device that looks like a scrapbooking paper cutter but it cuts fabric. Eleanor Burns demo it on her TV show when she had a young girl she was teaching how to quilt. Something you might want to look into for him. Men DO love power tools !!! GOOD LUCK !!! :mrgreen:
