LOL. We'll I've gotten the occasional nip from my very sharp scissors a but after 28 years of doing daycare, I'm a real good cutter so scissors are my preferred tool but I love how fast the rotary cutter is now that I'm no longer intimidated by it. The key for me was, you won't believe this - change the blade frequently. No wonder I was annoyed and frustrated. I won't tell how long it took me to realize the blade needed to be changed just like scissors need to be sharpened or replaced. Silly me.

I really have to pay attention to the markings on the ruler to avoid goofs and am pleased I'm finally getting better.
Me too. The rotary cutter is quick, but oh so dangerous. I will never feel comfortable with it. The minute you do, goodbye finger.
