It's only a matter of time for any one who uses a rotary cutter to have an accident. I use several safety products. One for each cutting job.
1. Rule Steady - Pricey but my favorite. Cost much less then an ER or Dr. visit. http://www.rulesteady.com/
2 Different sizes of Gypsy Gripper.
3. Quilters Slide Lock http://quiltersslidelock.com/
4. Accuquilt Go

I am so sorry! I have a friend who sliced off the tips of her index finger and middle about a year ago. I have since convinced her to buy and use a Fons and Porter "Klutz Glove". They also have acrylic finger guards that stick on to the rulers. I got mine at Joann's. Speedy healing.

if no one has mentioned it yet, or even if they have
, kevlar gloves will protect your hands. it's the same stuff they make bullet proof vests out of. you can buy them in hobby shops where they sell woodcarving tools, and in other tool stores.

wow, thanks for letting us know about these glovesand just searched and found this direct link for all of youhttp://www.workgloves.net/cut-resist...evlar-kv13asn/
Hi, Go to WorkGloves.net and look at the Kevlar Perfect Fit uncoated lightweight cut resistant 100% Kevlar gloves. They are $3.49 a pair. They fit really nice and work great. I have never run my rotary cutter over it, but a lady that works at a quilt shop uses them since she cut her finger years ago and swears by them. Her hubby brings them home for her from the plant he works in. She gave me one and that is what I use. A lot cheaper than Fons and Porter.......
