I have arthritis in both hands,especially bad in my thumbs. I think it would be easier on my hands as cutting with my Ofla cutter can cause arthritis flares. But it makes me quite nervous about the blade being open. I caught one of my cats playing with my rotary cutter the other day. I am so grateful that the blade was covered or she could have been seriously hurt.

Interesting gadget, but like the others said I can't see the blade and I have to see what I'm cutting.

It looks fine for strip cutting. I would want to know how you can cut curves or circles out or even specific squares and triangles. How do you stop part way up a cut ?
Need to evaluate the price with what it does.

After watching the video I'd be willing to try it!

When I see one at a shop I'll buy one to try. It's the only way to know if I would come to like it better then the regular cutter. I don't understand having negative opinions about new quilting items before even trying them.

Looks like the business part of those ruler-cutter combos. Personally, I didn't like mine & sold it. the thing I really don't like is the blade is always exposed.

I can't remember who's u-tube video I cam across but she was using one. It didn't look safe for me to use so I went on to another video.

Wouldn't be for me.

Thanks for your input ladies. I thought it looked awkward and I was concerned about the blade being stable. Part of me still wants to try it but I would have to find it locally so I could see it.

I thought it was a great idea, but my hand is very small and I think it would be too large for my hand. The price is a turn off as well.
