I've done this too! :) Guess this is a 'duh' moment! Thanks for the links!!

so glad you guys figured it out before i had it happen. i hate it when a pro asks if its plugged in or in the case of the computer, if i've rebooted. (i probably haven't and then will feel like an idiot)

http://olfa.com/index.asp?pageid=7 I didn't notice the videos when I was at the OLFA site. Videos are much better for me. I seem to retain the info easier with my "senior" brain for some reason |
I am right handed. Thanks so much for all the info. I have been run ragged this week but will be quilting this weekend and see if my rotary cutter works better.

I found this PDF page at OLFA for putting a cutter back together when you change the blades. http://www.olfa.com/App_Content/Edit.../bin112065.pdf |
Its funny that so many smart women can't seem to get the cutter right!!! I was getting little strips of extra cuts every time I cut a strip of fabric. After doing everything I could think of I realized I had two blades stuck together!

I have an Olfa and a Fiskars. I can't seem to cut as straight with the Olfa, so I put it up and only use my Fiskars. However, it seems like I had trouble putting the Olfa back together when I did use it. I'll try to remember this if I ever use it again.
