Boy I thought I was the only one that had trouble with rotary cutters. I have to admit I've owned three all different brands and I just can't use them. I gave up and went back to scissors (I know stone age!) Now I wonder if I just had the dang things put together wrong! I really decided it was because I was left handed and all the right handed companies were against me, okay I only thought that for a minute but it felt good to blame someone else besides myself. And now that those cutters are boxed up someone where I'll have to find them and try again. Hopefully it will be soooo long scissors!
