You are supposed to shave your legs NOT rotary cut them.
I notice that I don't get good leverage when I sit and cut. If I do, then the blades must be sharp. Hope you feel better. |
I always stress to cut away from you. I don't want anyone committing hari-kari in my presence. I don't do well with blood. They wouldn't want me to faint rather than be able to help them.
Take care of that wound. |
Take care and get better soon. Those rotary cutters can be dangerous. I love mine but an about half afraid of it.

My goodness....I hope all is better....next time if you must sit when you cut get you a table at Wal Mart....for 20.00 that is smaller than a card table kinda like a tv try that can adjust to different heights.....that is what I use... a great help when I"m tired....also I use the Olfa rotarys that close when they aren't squeezed.....I go bare footed and use to drop my other ones.....talk about dancing...:-)....glad I have the other kind now ...no worries.....:-)

i know i need new blades, i will also cut ONLY away from me,lol and i will use less fabric to cut through, its better taking it a bit more slow. also i need a bigger, better cutting mat, if u have anything to recomend please give me the link( and not to expensive) and yes i m getting better but it still hurts and the knee itself hurts a lot too, silly daft me :oops: :oops: :oops: |
So far, I like the olfa mats best. I know they are expensive, but they do last a long time.

oh my goodness. i bought one of the cutters that close when not in use unless i punch the black button. i cut my thumb years ago and it took a long time for the nerves to stop bothering me. i love my rotary cutter now but i do make sure if i'm using my long ruler, that the side next to the cutter has the guard on it. I'd turned the ruler around and that's how i ended up getting cut! careful is the word of the day.

The self closing rotary cutters are helpful it one tends to be forgetful.
I tend to be. They are a a little more expensive, but i think they are worth it. |
