I saw them mentioned on a sewing site but have not heard anyone say they have used them. Thanks for any information you may have. Thanks, Carolbee

It may also cut right through a finger too I should do a show and tell with my scarred finger if I go to a PR event. The ER doc said I was lucky, that what he usually sees from rotary cutter accidents is much worse. I did have the little safety lip attached to my straight edge. The cutter jumped that when I was making a cut on multiple layers. I use a different method now to keep my fingers and hand well clear of the cutter. The ceramic blade, though, sounds scary if it gets used with no extra precautions. Wonder if the cut resistant gloves work with ceramic blades? -- Edited on 2/28/12 10:49 AM -- ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
