Too much rotary cutting, or the dreaded A
I cut strips for the plaid quilt for a few hours last night, and this morning I felt like I'd gotten hit by a car in my sleep. My hand is stiff, especially the ring and little finger. Is this simple overuse, bad body mechanics, bad rotary form, old age or the onset of arthritis? Hmmm, finger poking this on my phone (it's definitely not typing, lol) let me know my elbow is not happy with me, either.I was using my straight KAI cutter, because it has the nicer blade. I'm thinking maybe I should switch to the Fiskars one with the loop type handle. What do you think? I'll get thr ibuprofen going while you answer, lol. Oh, and I cut standing up because my shoulders are the weakest link, and I'm leery of anything that gets me at the wrong angle for them.
