I use the rotary cutter for cutting quilts. It's much more accurate to cut with a rotary cutter. When you cut with scissors the material being cut will gradually creep away from the blade towards the end of the cut. |
Rotary cutter. My scissors are a teeny-tiny pair for snipping threads. I'm pretty new and have two rotary cutters, Olfa and Fiskars. Both work fine, but the Olfa seems to "feel" better to me.

Tool of choice: ergonomic handle, 45 mm blade [sharp] rotary cutter.

Rotary cutter except for snipping threads. My choice: 45mm blade, and I like the ones that automatically put the safety cover over the blade when you lay them down (they're yellow--don't remember the brand.) oh--and of course, I get my replacement blades from Harbor Freight tools, for about $1/ea! :D

Rotary cutting, it is more accurate for me.
Scissors only for cutting out applique pieces :D:D:D |
Definitely rotary cutter

I use a rotary cutter for square, rectangular, or triangular pieces. Everything else gets the scissor treatment. For those I use my Ginghers.
