[Nfb-krafters-korner] Tips for using rotary cutters

[jill]

Hi,
I have used one.  I have one which has a retractable blade.  You have to
press a button when your cutting for the blade to be exposed.  I have used a
yard stick and also a cutting mat when using this tool.

I've not used one myself but have heard they are very sharp. I would use a
guide of some sort, like a yard stick or a piece of wood wide enough to hold
in place without getting your fingers in the way, I'm thinking a 1 by 4.
