My DH gifted me 35 years ago.....thought I wanted the contraption....don't know what happened to it. I do think my DIL's mother still uses hers. Has anyone seen the new "Man Gadget" electric rotary cutter? Saw a commercial the other evening on TV. I could really screw up with one of those!

I don't find them very accurate for precision cutting but they are great for cutting batting. The trick is to make sure that you only use the blade tips when cutting and not try to use the full length of the blades which gets things pretty jammed up.

Does anyone use electric scissors to cut their fabric with?

I actually still have mine, I think it is stored away some place. Don't use it now, but used it when I made my own clothes. My husband was for any new gadget that would speed the process or make it easier. Thanks for the memory. I had completely forgotten I had it.

I still have mine though haven't used them in decades. I liked using the electric scissors for garment sewing. The short cord is a pain but can always use an extension cord.
Maybe I'll give it a try tomorrow.
