Mary Ferguson replied to Deborah Mellifer Moore's discussion Rotary cutter"Go slow and look twice on where the fingers are before cutting. Close it up after you make your cuts - I usually close it between cuts also."
Amy Cooke replied to Deborah Mellifer Moore's discussion Rotary cutter"Just be very careful. Dont get your fingers to close to the edge of the ruler you are using. I have gone to fast and cut across the top of 2 fingers once."

Jessica Grimm said… Dear Deborah,
Thank you for your nice comments on my TAST-piece. Check out my Algerian Eyelet dog over on my page! I really loved this TAST-stitch. Although it was a bit of a challenge to stitch a dog with it!
Have a nice day, Jessica

Tina Mackenzie said… Hi Deborah,
Welcome. I only joined a few days ago yet I am really enjoying the site.
I see that like me, you like a whole range of textile based crafts, I also dip into whatever feels right to go with my projects - no standing on ceremony with me I'm afraid.
