[QUOTE=QKO;1374101]I had a lot of trouble with that when I started cutting, as well. The basic problem, at least for me, was technique. I had to practice a lot with keeping the cutter blade totally vertical, and lined up perfectly with the ruler. The problem I (and I suspect most people) had with moving the ruler was canting the cutter in against the ruler, like this /| while the blade should be straight with the ruler, like this || as well as being perfectly vertical. When I switched to a Martelli Ergo cutter it helped a lot too, as it eliminated the "flop" in the cutter.

Sometimes I just wonder where I've been. I've never heard this advice, and it makes so much sense. I love my Martelli cutter and now I know how to use it better. Thanks
