Just be sure to buy a quilting quality, not scrapbooking quality rotary cutter. It will last longer, be sharper and cut more accurately, INMO. The same for a self-healing mat. These items take a lot of wear and tear so buy the best you can afford.

Rotary cutter most of the time except for fiddly bits.

I use both.I do a lot of machine applique,cutting out small pieces and for curves I use scissors,for pieced blocks I use my rotary cutter.

I use both

I think the rotary blade revolutionized the quilting world when it was introduced in 1985. Unless I am quilting with templates, ALWAYS a rotary blade. My fave is a Fiskars all-in-one, but they are not available any more.

I love my rotary and use both depending on what it is. But my faves are my Fiskers, Olfa and Ginghers! I have to hide the Ginghers from the kids. I have a couple of pairs of $2.00 ones you get from Walmart or Dollar General store for paper and such.

just learned how rotary cutter wonderful

Fiskars are great. Just make sure your can get blades. I like the middle size, and have to order online because Wal- Mart has stopped carrying the blades and the rotary cutter. Invest in a large self healing cutting mat and ruler and you will wonder why you ever used scissors. Maerry Christmas and Happy New Year. but, most of all Happy Quilting.

Rotary all the way!! :-D
