I should say that while my girls use the Klutz glove, they have their own rulers and each one has either a built in lip for safety or I've added the O-Lipfa safety lip. They, praise God, have never had an accident but when the rotary cutter slips, it hits the lip and hasn't actually come into contact with the glove but it's there, just the same. And, whenever they're using their rotary cutters, this overly cautious/worrisome mama is standing right behind and over them to catch the ruler or blade if it slips.

I got in a hurry one day trying to finish a quilt for my Mothers' birthday & almost cut off my right index finger. Luckily, I had some paper towels handy & was able to catch the blood before it ruined the quilt. I still don't use gloves, tho'. They get in the way.

Get to the point, Edie - I am glad to know that I am not the only one who doesn't use gloves for gardening, for sewing or even for scrubbing floors or walls! Edie

Guess I am just lucky, no severed fingers yet but I can't say the same for a ruler or two who have suffered mightily from my carelessness. Thank you Harbor Frieght for letting me ruin rotary blades with very little guilt.

I think the word, which I might add has gone out the window someplace, is common sense. My mother is 94, I am 72 - never cut my finger. I just adjust my hand so I will not get cut.
