I know what you mean. some things are harder but I found that I can reverse the blade on my cutter.
I think the hardest thing is the instructions i end up reading them over a couple if times to make sure i understand them.
When they show cutting the fabric into strips it has taken me along time to get it right reversed.
I love working with my Daughter she cuts and I sew it works wonderful and we can zip through all the patterns.
Besides she is more on the ball than I'm.
