This for me too, including the trimming a bit now and then to keep the edge square. One thing I recently learned when watching videos about my new Martelli ergonomic cutter is that you should cut straight from your side rather than reaching across your body. I'm working on mastering this. Cutting across your body automatically tilts the roller blade so you are not pressing straight ahead but on an angle. I'm practicing taking a step to the side as I work my way down the fabric, so I am pushing forward with the roller and not tipping it. It really does make a difference, and is easier on my arm too!!!
