This is number 1 ! No excuse to cut without a safety tool, there are many on the market. My favorite is Quilter's Slide lock. The cut resistant glove is easy and inexpensive. There are many sizes of the gloves on Amazon.

Don't use a machine that doesn't sew like butter. A finicky machine will cause nothing but frustration.
