while watching Fons and Porter this weekend, I noticed that they always put a glove on before using their rotary cutter. I guess I live "on the edge" b/c I don't use one. Do many of you quilters out their use one? And yes, have sliced my fingers but apparently like to continue to take the risk!

I used to have to wear those all of the time at work, they are hot and bulky... I choose not to wear them now :D:D:D

I think for safety (liability) reasons, they are probably required to wear them as they are recommended. I personally don't know anyone who does.

I have been known to slice off an acrylic nail or two but it's always needed trimmed anyway :)

I think they wear them to promote their product.

Other than F & P, I have never seen anyone use these gloves. We must all like to live dangerously.
