Looking forward to reading your comments and as always thank you. You are my go to.
I have used the Martelli rotary cutter for years and found it to be very kind to the wrist when dealing with arthritis. I also have some of their rulers and templates and use them regularly. They are especially great because they will not slip or slide around on the fabrics. I do not have their cutting mats, but I have a friend who does and she has been very happy with it. I happen to live in Pensacola where Martelli is based which makes it convenient to visit their retail store. They will custom cut a template if you need a particular size, and they even put a handle on the larger 6” x 24” ruler for me. Their products are a little pricey, but they are well made and last for many years.
