    I haven’t felt the need to use gloves when rotary cutting but just tested these out and had no problem at all. Just search forbutchers gloves.

    RJ those look like they at least fit well too. the ones on tv quilt shows do not. that would drive me crazy.

    I just bought the Large size..........4 for $12.99............Price: for med was $1 cheaper. . . from Amazon, butchers glove.....I used the amazon link above and it was in English Pounds, so I just typed in Amazon USA for butchers gloves and found a big selection.
    I am getting klutzier as I get older and will try to prevent accidents in the sewing room and kitchen.

    And now a Public Service Announcement from your friendly lifetime restaurant worker. Cut resistant glives really do work. (They're made of Kevlar, did you know that?) But not if they get a hole, because Murphy's Law *will* make sure that's where the knife goes. Our GM had to go in the office and simmer for a while the day Irma did just that, so she wouldn't scream at her and then fire her. Never seen her that mad. Also, we do a glove sandwich to keep them clean: plastic glove on the inside and outside, cutting glove in the middle. And it goes on the hand that is *not* holding the cutter. Yeah, who in the world could screw that up? Well, Colin was the most recent one...

    So there's my report from "the rest of the world."

    Amazon has them for $16.40-16.60. it is worth the money. you would spend that much on a small cone of thread

    It makes no sense to me to use a very sharp dangerous tool and not use a safety device to prevent the most obvious of accident that could happen and does happen often to many careful users. If you don't like the glove then use Quilter's Slidlock. No hassle and no suction.

    Believe me, a rotary cutter is very dangerous. I had twice cut the index finger on my left hand, and my son pitched a fit. He told me that regardless of the cost, I needed to order the safety gloves. I think mine were purchased off of Amazon (my son ordered them for me), providing a glove for both hands, at a cost including shipping of $18. They do work -- and I'm happy to say I haven't had any more cuts from the rotary cutter. Those cuts I had were pretty bad cuts which required butterfly closures to close the cut. It isn't worth taking a chance -- by all means get some ASAP!
