Did you have their mat or just the rotary cutter? I have been cutting some tonight and so far no pain!!! I am using green mat not Mertelli. One day I hope to have a M. mat.

When he helped me do it correctly it was like slicing butter!!! No pressing down and pushing hard.
Now, I want the mat for Christmas or birthday. The special packages were on the HSN website yesterday.
I have shoulder surgery twice on my right shoulder and once on the left. The Martelli Cutter is the greatest. If you use it correctly it does not hurt the shoulder!!!! I was even bad and cut a few things out after my last surgery. I was still in my sling!!!! Couldn't do much else but was able to do some small cutting. There is no way that I could have done that with any other cutter!!!
