Fiskars makes an adjustable, multi blade position cutter. I am an Olfa gal myself...the curved cutter, 60 mm. But I am right handed.

I often salivate over the Ghinger rotary cutters. Does anyone have one and is it worth the money? |
I have a drawer full of rotary cutters. I'm left handed so I like the ones that can be used in either direction. My very favorite is from KAI. http://kaiscissors.com/kai-rs-45-rotary-cutter-45mm/ It feels cushiony in my hand, only cuts when I put pressure on it, and helps me have good accuracy. I highly recommend it!

I have the Gingher left-handed rotary cutter and like it. Yes, it's expensive but with a coupon of 50 percent off, it helps a lot. The Gingher left-handed rotary cutter is ergonomic and really nice. I also have the Olfa ergonomic rotary cutter but the Gingher is slender and really nice.

I love my ergonomic Olfa cutter. You can make it left handed by switching the blade to the other side. That is what I do. You can't switch the blades on some cutters.
Many people like the Martelli cutters, which have a left handed version, but I found them awkward. |
I'm another Martelli fan. Cutter and mat.

I'm in the minority - I prefer Fiskars cutters. They're not readily available here so I had to order from the US. I have 60mm, 45mm 28mm (for cutting curves) and even 18mm, which I use for cutting applique shapes.
The Olfa Ergonomic I bought when I first started quilting I keep for trimming batting etc. (more for the fact that I don't want to dull my other blades than because I like it). I also use an Omnigrid mat. Most of my rulers are Omnigrid - made sense to me to buy the same brand of mat. I've had my big one three years - not a mark on it. Happy quilting :) |
