You’re doing alright… but your rotary blade may be whispering “danger zone” behind your back. A few upgrades could take you from chaotic neutral to cutting champ.

My very first quilting class, teaching how to use a rotary cutter/ruller ( brand new to the market ) a classmate, dropped her cutter, blade open, on her foot, IN A FLIP FLOP. She took 8 stitches and I never ever forgot the experience. Always over a table and never in open shoes. BTW she was an OR Nurse. Lesson Learned early on!
