I have never used and don't plan on starting anytime soon. I've never seen anyone in a quilt store use them. I guess maybe personal preference??
|
I've never cut my fingers while cutting fabric. I have, however, cut myself when I used my other hand to pick up or put down something and the cutter got in the way. I'm not looking at the cutter in my (left) hand, I'm looking at the other (right) hand. That's right...I'm a lefty! I have thought about the glove, but $25 is a lottttt of money.

On this board nearly everyone was of the same opinion about wearing gloves I have cut with a rotary cutter for years and never had a serious cut a little nick or two but wouldn't feel the fabric and the fold right with gloves on so I just try to be careful. Have you thought of the difference we have with that rotary cutter, my aunt and mom quilted back a generation and knew neither the rotary cutter or sewing them on the machine I still treasure what they made but enjoy the time saver of cutting and sewing my way.

I quilt and teach quilting, I never wear them, I teach good safety habits with rotary cutters. If you start by using good safety habits, you will always use them.
|
I bought one, used it once...too cumbersome for me.

I have never used them and don't intend to. I have been quilting for 30+ years and have never cut myself.

I usually wear mine. It is for saftey mine.

I do use good safety habits. I close my blade each time after a cut even when just repositioning the ruler. It's when you're actually cutting that you stand a danger of a bad cut.
