I am a seasoned sewer, have been sewing since high school. I was cutting my material with my rotary blade and my hand was on my ruler when the cutter came up onto the ruler and cut my finger to the point that I ended up in an emergency room having my finger stitched. It took 4 stitches to stop the bleeding. I since then have ALWAYS worn a Klutz glove every time I use my rotary cutter. I get nervous whenever I see someone use a cutter without a glove.
How do you prevent slicing into the ruler when cutting?
Never know about changing blade to other side for left handers. Thanks so much!
