Default Rotary Cutters
My DGD is 8 and enjoys sewing. Her parents have set up an area where she can keep her machine out (a simple Singer machine for now) and according to DD she spends her evenings sewing. However, DD said DGD can't cut a straight line no matter how hard she tries and wonders if she is too young to use a rotary cutter. Here's where I need your advice -- Should I buy her a ruler with some type of guard on it and the small size rotary cutter? Do they make safety gloves for children? DGD seems to be a very focused child and I know her mom won't let her use a cutter without guidance. I have tried to find some type of child "quilting gear" but can't find any. I finally have a DGD who loves to sew, so I want to encourage her in any way I can. I understand she is making Christmas presents for aunts, grandmothers and "girl" cousins (but they might be a little "wonky"). Doesn't matter, they will all be beautiful.
