Thank you for your help.
Thank you for your help.
It did the same thing to me...made me wait a very long time to ever start doing my quilts!!!!
When I finally broke down and bought a new one...world of difference and the "phobia" was vanished! ;-)

I've seen THIS happen several times- the blades right out of the package stick together and people end up putting in TWO blades because they are stuck. If you're really scared of the blade, you might not handle it enough to know if you have one of two. I guess unless you buy a package with only one!

It is probably your blade. You will not cut yourself if you close your blade. In a class we were charged a $ if we left our blade open. The paying the $ taught me. I am pretty faithful about closing my blade,even by myself at home.

First of all, they're supposively designed for cutting carpets. There's absolutely no quality control, most of them are made out of recycled steel, they cut unevenly, and they will eventually destroy your expensive mats.
