Speaking of cutters......
I use an ordinary Fiskars 45 cutter, the one I bought when I first began this quiltmaking hobby a few years ago. I'm used to it and I love it, except for one thing: the nut loosens constantly; I'm always having to stop and tighten it. And if I don't, the blade eventually begins to wobble. Recently I bought another, thinking the one I had was somehow faulty. Well, guess what? The new one does the same thing! So, are these cutters just bad? Are they designed to loosen? Is it the way I'm using it? I hate to abandon the Fiskars entirely since I like the way these fit in my hand, but this loose nut business is driving me crazy.
I'm with Rodney, I think a cutter should be designed so that the nut cannot be over tightened nor should it constantly come loose.
