I read a whole thread about this a few months back and immediately bought a Klutz glove. I wear it almost every time I cut. If I only have to make one small cut, sometimes I skip the glove but I feel naked and vulnerable without it. I'm a newbie to quilting and using rotary cutters so it was easy for me to make using the glove a habit. For me it's like buckling up when I get in a car.
