    Question on sewing history?

    How long have rotary cutters been around, and are scissors the only alternative for fabric cutting?

    Thanks. I was aware of those decals but I like originality. I don't mind replacing things, but if they aren't the same kind, I try to avoid them. Thanks anyway!
