Fiskers

Maybe the "kink" of the blade is common to all rotary cutters??? I seem to have trouble getting a straight cut on a long strip. It's probably just me, but that was another reason I thought I would change from the fiskars to Olfa. So far I haven't had to tighten the screw on the Olfa but my straight cut is only slightly improved.... it's probably just me. Short arms or poor coordination, maybe both. lolol

Oh, I'm glad you are all right and didn't bleed on anything. ;)

I had a Fiskars cutter for over 20 years, and never had a problem. I lost it last year, and had to get a new one, Fiskars again. Well, this weekend was cutting a quilt- the cutter broke! Something inside that I can't fix; the blade won't lock into place. Only a few months old, and I had to get a new one. They sure don't make things the way they used to. Now I really want to find the old one- I'm pretty sure its in the house, lost in the clutter.

I agree with both of the Fiskers problems that you mentioned. My blades dull much too quickly, and I am constantly having to tighten the screw. Am thinking of switching back to Olfa. Did not know that these were common problems!
