I really thought that I would have a problem keeping the cover on mine but didn't want to spend so much money since I wasn't sure how successful I would actually be at quilting. So I got a mid priced Fisharks one with a button cover and it actually worked out really well. I love the cutter and because it is the kind that I started with it was easy to always remember to cover the blade. Plus I quilt on my dining room table and sometimes have my stuff laying out when the step kids come and had to warn them very sternly about the cutter.
